[Twisted-Python] GUI Integration
Hi all, I would like to integrate the PerspectiveBorker into a platform-independant GUI. If I use Delphi for example, I include the twisted-reactor via the Python Deplhi Interface. But then if I call "reactor.run()" this blocks the Delphi Application! Since wxPython for is not supported for Windows yet, and I do not want to use GTK or PyGui, my question is: How can I integrate the twisted framework into a GUI environment such as Delphi? Or do I have to use Java? Can I run the reactor in another thread? regards, Thorsten -- brainbot technologies AG boppstrasse . 64 . 55118 mainz . germany fon +49 6131 211639-1 . fax +49 6131 211639-2 http://brainbot.com/ mailto:henni@brainbot.com

Where did you see that wxPython is not supported for windows ? it works perfect with windows ! Btw, you can find on this mailing list some examples about using twisted in wx apps. kind regards Philippe

this is what happens, if you run the wxdemo on windows 2000: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\henni\Desktop>wxdemo.py D:\Python23\lib\fcntl.py:7: DeprecationWarning: the FCNTL module is deprecated; please use fcntl DeprecationWarning) D:\Python23\lib\site-packages\twisted\internet\wxsupport.py:69: UserWarning: Be advised wxsupport is not fully functional on Windows. warnings.warn("Be advised wxsupport is not fully functional on Windows.")

Of course, simulating the reactor via a wxTimer (as seen on ASPN) does work, but the latest twisted says, wxsupport is not fully supported on Windows. regards, Thorsten -- brainbot technologies AG boppstrasse . 64 . 55118 mainz . germany fon +49 6131 211639-1 . fax +49 6131 211639-2 http://brainbot.com/ mailto:henni@brainbot.com
ouch ! I haven't seen this demo, but I think it's quite old. try this instead : http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/203471 (your warning came from twisted, not wxpython) and here is the killing tip of the day : http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/181780 Hope it will help ! -- Philippe On Wednesday 19 November 2003 13:49, Thorsten Henninger wrote:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The wxsupport is broken, no matter which platform. That's why I invented the timer thing on ASPN. Wxsupport will fail the moment you open a modal dialog (or use a pulldown menu, which also is a modal). Probably there will never be a real reactor, well - unless someone with a lot of knowledge of both twisted and wxpython writes one. The problem is that wx - being platform independent uses the native event-loop, which behaves differently on windows, gtk or whatever. So a reactor would have to take care of that. The timer recipe works nicely though. UC On Wednesday 19 November 2003 04:49 am, Thorsten Henninger wrote:

What is the difference between twisted.internet.app.Application and twisted.application.service.Application? Thanks a lot. Yun

You want to integrate the Delphi event loop with the Twisted event loop. This will involve either a custom reactor, or something like what twisted.internet.wxsupport or tksupport do. -- Itamar Shtull-Trauring http://itamarst.org/ Available for Python & Twisted consulting
