I am running Eclipse with PyDev and Python 3.2 on Windows Vista and have been working on a tutorial on Python and ctypes.
However, I found that when I call msvcrt.printf () to print a line, it does not appear on the console output for Eclipse until all other print statements appear. A.
Here is the exact code I'm using:
from ctypes import *
msvcrt = cdll.msvcrt
message_string = "Hello Worlds!\n"
printf = msvcrt.printf
print(printf("Testing: %s".encode('ascii'),message_string.encode('ascii')))
print("foo")
print("why!?")
and here is the result:
23
foo
why!?
Testing: Hello Worlds!
The only explanations I saw elsewhere (for C in general) mention how printf is buffered and a new line is required before displaying, but there is a new line in the line, and I also added it directly to the printf ('printf ( "Testing:% s \ n", ... "), and that didn't matter.
Eclipse, , , ? ?
