I'm still fooling around with my Python/ Qt front-end to apt-get and I have run into a problem.
I'm starting 'apt-get upgrade' as a process (QProcess to be exact) and it starts ok. The problem is when it asks if you want to continue after presenting the list of what will be done. I try to feed 'y' from within Python to stdin but it does not accept it and aborts.
I've tried to look at the apt sourcecode but I'm not exactly an expert on C++ so it didn't make me any wiser.
Any ideas on how to communicate with apt-get or some pointer to where to look would be greatly apreciated.
Sounds interesting. Is this a gui that your've drawn up yourself ?
Can't say much on Python, but with C++ you would be looking at the cin cout istream and ostream objects i would think. They have a set of stream manipulating methods that may be useful.
Running doxygen on the file set in /usr/include/c++ should collect all the relevant comment fields.
But i find it clearer to just grep through the headers directly myself.
Wouldn't you have to send it to pythons standard output, then pipe it in to apt-get ???
Yes, I made the GUI using Qt. It's mainly a learning project for my self, but just for fun I've put up on BerliOS: Tinapt.
So far I just start apt-get as a process and simply read/ write to stdout/ stdin. I plan to rewrite the whole thing using the python-apt module, but it's not very well documented so I haven't figured out how to properly use it yet.
Yes, some nice clean screen shots. Good to see a lack of clutter in a gui for a change.
I would expect you would need some qt wrapper facility to use python code. Some equivalent of the standard system(cons char *) call. But python specific of course. I think they use things called stubs. I haven't been there as yet though so can't be of much use.
