[pygtk] gobject.io_add_watch buffered?

[Gabriele Lanaro]

Ok!! It's solved, the while cycle hide me that the writeout function was called only once..
So, the solution was that the writeout should return True, after a succesful reading, and False when it's finished.
(it's the last sentence in the reference guide..sorry for my distraction!!!)
--------------CodeLauncher.py correct------------------
    def writeout(self,file,event):
        print "triggered"
        text=file.read(1)
        iter = self.buffer.get_end_iter()
        self.buffer.insert(iter,text)
        if event==gobject.IO_HUP:
            return False
        else:
            return True
------------------------------------------------------
Thank you very much :-)
