RE: [Jython-users] interactive vs script mode

[Updike, C. <Cla...@jh...>]

I think you can use the traceback.extract_stack to do it:

Consider a file ExtractStack.py:

   from traceback import extract_stack
   print extract_stack()

   context =  extract_stack()[0][0]=='<console>' \
         and 'interactive' or 'running script'
      
   print "Context is: " + context  

Running interactively:
 
>>> execfile(r'\temp\ExtractStack.py')
[('<console>', 1, '?', None), 
 ('\\temp\\ExtractStack.py', 2, '?', 'print extract_stack()')]
Context is: interactive
>>>

Running from a shell:

C:\temp>jython ExtractStack.py
[('ExtractStack.py', 2, '?', 'print extract_stack()')]
Context is: running script

There may be a more robust way to do it, but that seems to work.

Subject: [Jython-users] interactive vs script mode


Is there a easy way to determine in my module, if it is called while 
running a script or in interactive mode?
While in script mode I would want my application to use some default 
values where an input is needed from a user and in interactive mode the 
application waits for user input.
Anybody ?

Thanks for any suggestions,
