Dear Lazywebs : SSH on low bandwidth connections
Anybody got tips on how to make SSH on low bandwidth / bad connections (eg: 0-4KBps) more bearable?
Tee'ing Python subprocess.Popen output
A little hack for python coders out there who wanted to have a functionality similar to the unix's tee command for redirecting output to multiple places.
import sys
from subprocess import Popen,PIPE
p = Popen(['put','command','and','arguments','here'],stdout=PIPE)
while True:
o = p.stdout.readline()
if o == '' and p.poll() != None: break
# the 'o' variable stores a line from the command's stdout
# do anything u wish with the 'o' variable here
# this loop will break once theres a blank output
# from stdout and the subprocess have ended
import sys
from subprocess import Popen,PIPE
p = Popen(['put','command','and','arguments','here'],stdout=PIPE)
while True:
o = p.stdout.readline()
if o == '' and p.poll() != None: break
# the 'o' variable stores a line from the command's stdout
# do anything u wish with the 'o' variable here
# this loop will break once theres a blank output
# from stdout and the subprocess have ended

@bochecha
that tips helps in creating new connections .. but the lag when typing commands etc is still quite long..
@pfrields
i am using compression in my connection, though, its still not quite enough ..
I guess i had to live with this for the time being.
10-15seconds lag is kindof too long .. anyway .. thanks to both of you for responding
