Take a look at what twisted.conch.stdio.runWithProtocol does to the terminal. That's more or less what's necessary to kick it out of line buffered mode and give you each keystroke as it arrives.
Thanks for this pointer. I'm going to try rewriting my terminal I/O code, what little of it there is, to use that this morning.
TerminalProtocol is meant to be used with ServerProtocol from the same module. ServerProtocol will interpret various terminal control sequences and translate them into calls onto whatever ITerminalProtocol you supply to it. It probably
After looking at your invective code a second time (somebody in #twisted pointed me to it last night) I'm still not entirely sure how ServerProtocol integrates. It seems like you're mainly just using it as a sort of container of constants to interpret special keystrokes (like alt-whatever, or backspace or similar) and in the test cases to produce such sequences. Is that its main use?
what to do with. There are a couple other things you might be interested in though, like twisted.conch.recvline.RecvLine or a class in a project I've been working on a bit on and off, invective.widgets.LineInputWidget, which uses insults' widget system to implement a more re-usable line input class (you can find invective in my Twisted sandbox,
Yep, I think twisted.conch.recvline.RecvLine may be what I'm looking for. My program needs to respond to keystrokes in some cases, and allow line editing in others -- message entry, for example. Thanks again for your help and I'll probably be back here with more questions at some point. --Neuro
