Linux : kdialog

[Cousin Stanley]

  I saw a reference yesterday while reading a Linux news group
  to using  kdialog  in a bash shell script, so I decided to
  try it from Python .... 
    
    import os

    pipe_in = os.popen( "kdialog --inputbox 'Guido who ?' " )

    reply   = '"' + pipe_in.readline() + '"'

    msg_box = os.system( 'kdialog --msgbox ' + reply )
    

  This seems to be a fairly easy method 
  for some basic Python GUI programming in Linux
  without digging too deeply into Qt or KDE docs .... 
  
  kdialog --help      # for a list of other options
