Has somebody got to work with twill+web2py? (Im using Apache + mod_wsgi) I'm trying to navigate to some page and show the html in my page (return of my index controller)
I'm trying that, and it's my situation: 1) Succesful importing module: I installed and used " from twill import * " 2) At first attempt it threw me and error: " IOError: sys.stdout access restricted by mod_wsgi " 3) I used the trick to redirect stdout (spited from twill command line tool) to stderr: " sys.stdout = sys.stderr " 4) Now it shows None in webpage but spite the html form through error.log Apache (but that isnt what we want to) 5) I investigated some deeper and found this -maybe- useful things: - From Twill Documentation <http://twill.idyll.org/python-api.html>: /You can capture command output by passing any write-enabled file handle to twill.set_output, e.g. twill.set_output(StringIO()) will send all non-error output into a StringIO() object./ Could I use that to redirect to page renderer or a string to return from controller? I'm sorry I'm newby in python - Another interesting thing I found is a " wsgi_intercept.py " file in twill, which say /wsgi_intercept.WSGI_HTTPConnection is a replacement for httplib.HTTPConnection that intercepts certain HTTP connections into a WSGI application. Use 'add_wsgi_intercept' and 'remove_wsgi_intercept' to control this behavior./ I don't know if it is necessary to use Twill with Web2py+Apache+mod_wsgi. In my first attempt it seems that spited out well the html form options to error.log. So the question is, how to redirect all twill output to page renderer or wsgi handle, or whatever...
