Paging output from print statement

Question

I\'m essentially trying to achieve this:

>>>print \"SOME_VERY_LONG_TEXT\" | more

Of course, it doesn\'t work in Python 2.7(IDLE).

Answer 1

You could call it as an external process. (You have to be careful with shell=True, though.)

import subprocess
longStr = 'lots of text here'
subprocess.call(['echo "'+longStr+'" | more'], shell=True)
