Creating such a view isn't as difficult. Problematic would be to redirect the
output to such a view. So for now i would suggest another approach: Setting
DISPLAY through update_help.py:
# Because wl_map_object_info needs access to a graphical server, which is
running at
# DISPLAY :1 we have to set the environment variable accordingly.
if not 'DISPLAY' in os.environ: # No DISPLAY set -> default on the server
console
display_set = True
os.environ['DISPLAY']=":1"
# Here is the call to wl_map_object_info
if display_set: # Unset DISPLAY
os.environ.pop('DISPLAY')
This is testet on the alpha site and works fine. A button could be implemented
later on.
I think documenting any server related spacial things in the readme would blow
it up without a need for normal users which may just want to look into the code
and runs the widelands homepage local. Documenting this in the code is imho
better.
