[Bug-gnubg] Re: Changes in gnubgmodule.c

[Massimiliano Maini]

Found the reason: exec('123') does not print out anything, while
enterrnig simply 123 at the python prompt does.

I guess that this:

extern void PythonRun(const char *sz)
{
        if (*sz) {
                PyRun_SimpleString(sz);
        } else {
                PyRun_SimpleString("import sys\n"
                                   "print 'Python', sys.version\n");
                while (PyRun_SimpleString(
                                   "while 1:\n"
                                   "    print '>>> ',\n"
                                   "    line = sys.stdin.readline()\n"
                                   "    if not line:\n"
                                   "        break\n"
                                   "    exec(line)\n"))
                {};
        }
}

Should be changed to have the iteration over input lines in C
(but dunno if you can have readline functionalities as easily as in
python) and just call PyRun_SimpleString on each line.
Would also have to detect the ^Z to quit python mode ...

MaX.
