[Pointless-devel] Commandline execution

[Jake S. <js...@gm...>]

Hello.

I'm trying to add a function that would allow pointless to execute
commands that I specify.  I have added the following to register() in
the pllbasics.py file:

pll.add_command("execute:s", _execute)

and I added the following definition to the same file:

def _execute(args, parser):
        code =3D args[0]
        os.popen('%s'%(code))
        return []

The only problem is that the code that I pass with =3Dexecute("some
commands") gets executed as soon as I start the presentation, even if
it is several slides deep.  I'm not sure what to change that would
stop the parser from running the _execute routine as soon as it finds
it.  Thanks for any suggestions.
