Python and wxPython as front end to C++ program

[Ken Seehof]

Yup.  Use os.popen.  This lets you run any command line and opens
the output stream as a pipe.  If you need access to stderr and/or input
stream, use popen3.  Of course, once you've got that, it doesn't matter
what GUI you use.  I like wxPython too.

>>> import os
>>> f = os.popen('echo hey')
>>> print f.read()
hey

>>> f.close()
