Going to see what i can come up with.
But if you change your mind and decide to use pygtk instead, here it is:
enjoy!!
EDIT
I started making a poor man's version of a terminal using the text control widget.
I stopped because there are flaws that can't be fixed, such as when you use the sudo command.
import wx
import subprocess
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
# begin wxGlade: MyFrame.__init__
kwds["style"] = wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE
wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
self.prompt = "user@stackOvervlow:~ "
self.textctrl = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, '', style=wx.TE_PROCESS_ENTER|wx.TE_MULTILINE)
self.default_txt = self.textctrl.GetDefaultStyle()
self.textctrl.AppendText(self.prompt)
self.__set_properties()
self.__do_layout()
self.__bind_events()
def __bind_events(self):
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TEXT_ENTER, self.__enter)
def __enter(self, e):
self.value = (self.textctrl.GetValue())
self.eval_last_line()
e.Skip()
def __set_properties(self):
self.SetTitle("Poor Man's Terminal")
self.SetSize((800, 600))
self.textctrl.SetFocus()
def __do_layout(self):
sizer_1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer_1.Add(self.textctrl, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
self.SetSizer(sizer_1)
self.Layout()
def eval_last_line(self):
nl = self.textctrl.GetNumberOfLines()
ln = self.textctrl.GetLineText(nl-1)
ln = ln[len(self.prompt):]
args = ln.split(" ")
proc = subprocess.Popen(args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
retvalue = proc.communicate()[0]
c = wx.Colour(239, 177, 177)
tc = wx.TextAttr(c)
self.textctrl.SetDefaultStyle(tc)
self.textctrl.AppendText(retvalue)
self.textctrl.SetDefaultStyle(self.default_txt)
self.textctrl.AppendText(self.prompt)
self.textctrl.SetInsertionPoint(GetLastPosition() - 1)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.PySimpleApp(0)
wx.InitAllImageHandlers()
frame_1 = MyFrame(None, -1, "")
app.SetTopWindow(frame_1)
frame_1.Show()
app.MainLoop()
If really wanted, this could be worked upon.
