using curses with raw_input in python
In my python linux console application I use curses to handle displaying of data. At the same time I'd like to have an input line to enter commands, pretty much in good ol' irssi-style. With default curses getch() I'd have to do a lot of coding just to get the basic funcionality of raw_input function - arrow keys to move cursor / browse through the input history.
Is there a simple way to get such behavior working with curses, as it captures input events and I can't just use functions that read sys.stdin.

python - How can I capture all exceptions from a wxPython application?
I'm writing a little debug app for a bit of kit we're developing and I'd like to roll it out to a few users to see if they can provoke any crashes. Does anyone know a way of effectively wrapping a wxPython app to catch any and all unhandled exceptions that would cause the app to crash?

However I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Some things I have thought about:
AJAX would be nice if it’s not too much of a hazzle.
It is best if the licensing allows commercialization but is not crucial at this point.
