continuous redirection of stdout & stderr to Tkinter Text

[Fabien Hénon]

I am using Tkinter as an editor and a launcher (under Linux) for a
raytracer (POV-RAY)

Once started, the raytracer does two things in the same time :
- it displays the image being raytraced
- it spits out information to the console (ie : the line which is being
raytraced). 
I get the image displayed but not the redirection of stdout

That is why I use the root.after function to (try to) update every 10th
second.


With the script below, I get the image displayed, but not the stdout (or
stderr).

What am I doing wrong ?

To the pipe-redirectors gurus : Help !
