Package: wine
Version: 1.0.1-3.3
Severity: wishlist
Sorry if this is a dupe - please delete the other one if that is the case (I accidentally let reportbug sent the last mail from the command-line, but my command-line emailing isn't configured correctly).
Here is the original mail:
Hi there,
I'm running Python on the Linux command-line via Wine, to be able to access
Windows DLL functions through ctypes.
However, Wine doesn't allow my Python scripts to capture Ctrl+C, or even give
it time to print a traceback to show where in the script I pressed Ctrl+C.
Wine just immediately terminates the entire script, which is annoying when
trying to debug those scripts.
I know there is a "wineconsole" command, but that's not useful for me in this
case, because it only has these two options:
1. user backend - this makes a popup window which I don't want, though it does
allow the Python script to print the ctrl+C backend briefly before the script
terminates.
2. curses backend - this jumps into curses mode which I don't want
What I want is the "bare stream" mode, but allowing the command-line tool
(being run through Wine) to capture Ctrl+C.
