I want to create a popup window using wxPython that acts like a bash

  • 0

I want to create a popup window using wxPython that acts like a bash shell. I don’t want a terminal emulator, I don’t need job control, I just want a REPL (Read, Eval, Print Loop) based on a bash process.

Is there an easy way to do that with wxPython? I know the basic concept from my days as a tcl/tk programmer but my wxPython fu is weak and I don’t want to have to reinvent the wheel if I don’t have to. I’ve read a little about py.shell. Shell but that looks like it creates a python shell and I want one to run bash commands instead.

    I found the solution to my problem. It is funny how it never turned up in Google searches before now. It’s not production-ready code, but ultimately, I was looking for a way to run a bash shell in a wxPython window.
