[pygtk] Updating a TextBuffer line by line

[Daniel Roesler]

Ok, I tried that, but it's giving an error about the number of
arguments sent to read_output. "TypeError: display_details() takes
exactly 2 arguments (3 given)"

Here's my code:
--------------------------
  gobject.io_add_watch(command.stdout, gobject.IO_IN | gobject.IO_HUP,
self.read_output)
....

def read_output(source, condition):
  if condition == gobject.IO_IN:
    line = source.readline()
    self.txtbuffer.insert_at_cursor(line)
  if condition == gobject.IO_HUP:
    self.txtbuffer.insert_at_cursor("Command finished.")
    return False
  return True
--------------------------

Any ideas on why this is occurring?

Avast!
