    Win32/Console - subclass using Python ?

    Hi - I wondered if anyone had done this before and could provide some
    suggestions ? I'm interested in supplying extra functionality to a
    Win32 Console (cmd.exe) - full description below for those interested.
    I would do this using Python.

    I'm having difficulty finding anything about Console based programming
    via MSDN - I just wondered if anyone had done anything like this or
    alternatively knew where the part of the Win32 API which deals with
    Console interaction is on MSDN ? I've found
    http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;104094 but
    that's about it so far.

    FULL DESCRIPTION
    =============== =
    I use the Oracle client SQLPLUS a lot via a Win 32 console. There are
    some aspect s of this experience which would bear improvement.

    I'm interested in producing a 'super' cmd.exe which would 'help'
    SQLPLUS do its thing. I'm thinking for instance of auto-completion of
    table names, smart help etc. That's a big topic but just for starters
    I would like to be able to create my own 'super cmd.exe'

    regards

      There's a Console module for Windows at
      http://www.effbot.org/zone/console-index.htm

      that might do what you need.

          Thanks for that - I had looked for something like this but not found
          it. It's not 100% what I was thinking of as I would (I believe) need
          to run SQLPLUS 'behind' it. Never mind I appreciate it. Thanks also to
          info I got via Email WRT to 'QUASI'
          http://quasi-shell.sourceforge.net/ - that's a pretty amazing thing
          which is worth checking out.

          regards
