Display console output to status bar in Tkinter?

Hi,

One way you could do it is by redirecting the file to your own object
that implements write, writelines etc.

sys.stdout attaches itself to a file like object and calls write
against it - you could capture these writes and then direct them to
where you want them.

idle does a similar thing - have a look in PyShell.py especially at
PseudoFile class which is shown below:

class PseudoFile:

    def __init__(self, shell, tags):
        self.shell = shell
        self.tags = tags

    def write(self, s):
        self.shell.write(s, self.tags)

    def writelines(self, l):
        map(self.write, l)

    def flush(self):
        pass

You just then need to redirect the output somewhere useful.
