[Python-Dev] Patch for commands.py to provide callback (original) (raw)

Greetings all,

I have attached a patch for commands.py to provide a callback ability. Example use:


import commands

cmd = 'top -b -n2'

def fancy(out): print 'GOT(%s)' % out.strip()

commands.cb = fancy

(s,o) = commands.getstatusoutput(cmd) print 'OUTPUT (%s)' % o

I am not sure if this is the proper forum or means to submit something like this, so please forgive me and advise accordingly if I am in error. The basic idea is obvious, to allow long-running commands to call back whenever there is output. This is against python 2.4. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

thanks!! -brad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
