AW: [C++-sig] Stdout from c++

[Oliver Walczak]

Dear Stefan,
Writing to the idle console from a dll certainly IS a task of python
programming under c++. And i can't really believe that anyone writing .pyd's
needs to reconnect std.cout with it's own streambuf class by hand when
python provides modules to create a webserver in three rows of code, do you?
Are you really shure that there is no python api functionality for this?
Thanx for your advice anyway!
Oliver

short answer: get a better OS.

long answer: if the OS has the concept of an output stream, and its
              (buggy) std::cout implementation doesn't connect to it,
              write your own streambuf that writes to this output
              stream, then redirect std::cout to use your streambuf.

But that has nothing to do with python programming in C++...

Hope this helps,
		Stefan
