Pygame + PyInstaller?
by Greg Copeland Sept. 1, 2007

Sept. 1, 2007

Anyone had any luck on using PyInstaller to package up Pygame? I posted to the PyInstaller group some time ago and have yet to receive a reply. Anyone have any tips to offer here? A like-solution which runs on Linux would also be welcome. When PyInstaller works, it's pretty nice. When it doesn't, it is a real pain to figure out what the heck it doesn't like. So if anyone has a less painful alternative, which runs on Linux, please let me know. Greg

Is there a simple way to exit a while loop on keystroke?
by gsxg Sept. 1, 2007

Sept. 1, 2007

I am new to python, and have written a simple program to read a port via telnet. I would like it to run until any key is pressed. Of course I wouldn't mind requiring a specific keystroke in the future, but I would think this is simpler for now. I have used kbhit() and getch() many times in C, but I can't find anything similar in Python. I am using Linux also, so the msvcrt code isn't an option. I have tried sys.stdin.read(), but that hangs UNTIL a key is pressed. Thanks

If I had my pick, I say, sockets and then re. BTW, I gatta say projects like shedskin and pypy are the most exciting python projects I'm aware of. Please keep of the good work. I'm so excited about the day I can begin using shedskin for the types of projects I use python on. Greg Greg

And most if not all can regulate how many water is let through. If something goes wrong the valley behind the dam gets flooded. If this is controlled by a computer you have the need for reliable software. Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch

Non-Blocking IO
by mp Sept. 1, 2007

Sept. 1, 2007

I'm trying to use popen2 to call a program and then write and read data from the program using a Python script. Unfortunately, my calls to read block (I need non-blocking IO), and all the workarounds I've seen online don't work. Here is my most promising solution and how it breaks: Source of solution: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-March/052263.html def setblocking(fd,flag): " set/clear blocking mode" # get the file's current flag settings fl = fcntl.fcntl(fd, fcntl.F_GETFL) if flag: # clear non-blocking mode from flags fl = fl & ~os.O_NONBLOCK else: # set non-blocking mode from flags fl = fl | os.O_NONBLOCK # update the file's flags fcntl.fcntl(fd, fcntl.F_SETFL, fl) def try3(): fin,fout= os.popen2("echo.py") setblocking(fout.fileno(),False) os.write(fin.fileno(),'blah') fin.flush() print os.read(fout.fileno(),256) Calling try3() yields the error: File "./test.py", line 54, in try3 print os.read(fout.fileno(),256) OSError: [Errno 35] Resource temporarily unavailable If anyone could help me accomplish this I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks! MP
