Output to a text window

[google]

Hi,

I'm going around in circles so I'm asking for help. I want to read a
simple text file and output the contents to a GUI window when I click
on a button. I have written a small python program to read the
contents of a file when a button is clicked but can only output this
to a console window. I'm using the pygtk binding with glade for the
gui.

I know it must be quiet simple but a mental block has rapidly
descended.

Any help would be appreciated.

What does your code look like? What are you using to print? Are you
writing to the GUI or using the 'print statement?'

This is the code, it was adapted from code I found on the net. Code as
follows,

#!/usr/bin/python

import pygtk
import gtk
import gtk.glade
import string
import os
import gobject

class gui:
def __init__(self):
self.wTree=gtk.glade.XML('dansgui.glade')
dic = { "on_Read_File": self.on_Read_File,
"on_cancel": (gtk.main_quit)}
self.wTree.signal_autoconnect(dic)
self.count = 0
self.win = self.wTree.get_widget("window1")
self.win.connect("delete_event", self.on_delete_event)
self.win.show()

def on_Read_File(self, widget):
print "Opening Dansguardian bannedsitelist file for reading..."
print; print
lineoftext = open('/etc/dansguardian/lists/bannedsitelist', 'r')
myarray = []
lnum = 0
for line in lineoftext:
line = line.rstrip('\n')
line = line.rstrip( )
lnum = lnum + 1
print lnum , line
myarray.append(line);
lineoftext.close( )

def on_delete_event(self, widget, event):
self.win.set_sensitive(False)
dialog = gtk.MessageDialog(self.win,
gtk.DIALOG_MODAL | gtk.DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
gtk.MESSAGE_INFO, gtk.BUTTONS_YES_NO, None)
dialog.set_markup('<big><b>Are you sure you want to quit?</
b></big>')
dialog.connect("destroy", lambda w:
self.win.set_sensitive(True))
answer = dialog.run()
if answer == -8:
dialog.destroy()
return False

if answer == -9:
dialog.destroy()
return True

app = gui()
gtk.main()

"print" only goes to stdout, so your program is behaving correctly.

lineoftext = open('/etc/dansguardian/lists/bannedsitelist', 'r')
myarray = []
lnum = 0
for line in lineoftext:
line = line.rstrip('\n')
line = line.rstrip( )
lnum = lnum + 1
print lnum , line

Same comment

You need to set the contents of some multi-line text box defined on
the application window to the value of the lines you want to display.

Probably will need to handle scrolling bars too, if the text has
more lines than the text-box can physically display.

Hi,

http://spinecho.ifrance.com/frmouterr-py242-wxpy2621.zip

I use this gui windows written by jean marie fauth, which is very
easy: printing to stdout or stderr (gui windows written in wxpython).

You have only to translate frmouterr in pygtk.
