[SOLVED] WxPython - displaying the terminal output upto a specific line

WxPython - displaying the terminal output upto a specific line

Currently I am able to display my python console output in wxPython GUI. Below is the code for it: -

class RedirectText(object):
            def __init__(self,aWxTextCtrl):
                self.out = aWxTextCtrl

            def write(self,string):
                self.out.WriteText(string)

        self.console = wx.TextCtrl(self.window_2_pane_2, wx.ID_ANY, "Low Power Demo Suite [Version Beta]\nC:\Software\Python\Visualizer> Running Simulation...", style=wx.TE_MULTILINE|wx.TE_READONLY|wx.HSCROLL)
        self.console.SetMinSize((600, 200))
        self.console.SetBackgroundColour(wx.BLACK)
        self.console.SetForegroundColour(wx.WHITE)
        redir = RedirectText(self.console)
        sys.stdout = redir

The code is working perfectly fine. However what I want is, I want to display the console output in WxPython upto a specific line only.

How can I do the same?

Solution

As you are redirecting sys.stdout the easiest way would be to cancel that, based on a test on the console output or a line count, or whatever your criteria is.

Before you reassign sys.stdout to redir save the original setting with:

oldstdout = sys.stdout

Then whenever your criteria is hit, reapply it with:

sys.stdout = oldstdout
