Access console from python

#1

When trying to get a subst() from the console view I’m getting an empty output. Has anyone accessed console content with python API?

How do you determine this “console view”?

Sorry, I think I was using find_output_panel('console') but apparently this returns None.

The view associated to the build output can be obtained with window.find_output_panel("exec").

No worries, I doubt the console is supported at the moment… To give some background I’ve been trying to access logged commands as the current command_history in API is too limited.

why not just create a http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/api_reference.html#sublime_plugin.EventListener and listen for on_post_window_command and on_post_text_command and create your own log?
if you really need to access the console, your best bet is redirecting stdout.

Cheers, I’ll give it a shot.
Yup this was exactly I was looking for.
Again, many thanks for pointing that out!
