The purpose of the application is to automate the manipulation of large
numbers of files. For automation I want to be able to have scripts that
I can use for various purposes. <br>
<br>
On input, cmd.py handles calling "do_...." methods for known commands;
for the rest I want to "exec" the lines with my own dictionary. This
allows me to use python statements, so I can do things like
concatenating variables to form directory names, and so on. I'd like to
be able to use any python statement, including "x=raw_input('>')",
but this currently brings everything to a halt.<br>
<br>
One thing this app does is execute processes using wxPythons wx.Process
object and wx.Execute function. wxPython makes it easy to redirect
stdin and stdout. I'm trying to do a similar thing for individual
python statements. I'm not sure that makes sense.<br>
<br>
I hope that's clear. <br>

entirely clear to me.
But if I had a wxPython application and I wanted to
execute user input (note the _if_) I'd just pop up a window
(I forget how "ShowModal" is spelled in wx right now)
with a text box and an Execute button and a Cancel
button - if the user hits the Execute button I'd
attempt to execute what he'd typed in the box.
There are reasons you want to be very careful about
this...

<pre wrap="">I have a cmd.py-derived program (with a wxPython GUI) and want to
execute python statements for lines that are not my own special
commands.
So basically it's either:
def do_somecommand(self,arg):
...
or
def default(self,arg):
exec arg in globals(),self.cmdlocals
(where cmdlocals is a my local dictionary)
in default() I'd like to be able to execute any python statement
including something like
"x = raw_input('>')"
when I do this though it goes to the command window and so any user of
the program would be confused, which also means I have to have a command
window.
If I add this:
self.stdin = self.edt_console_input (where self.edt_console_input
is a wxPython text control)
it just gets an EOF right away.
Is there any way to do what I want to do? This might be better posted on
the wxpython list.
Thanks for any help!
