wc3270 on Windows vs x3270 on Linux

[Mike Maliska]

Linux

I pip x3270

I pip install py3270

I have a sample python file and it opens the terminal window just fine.

Windows

I install wc3270 (make sure it is in my path)

I pip install py3270

The same sample python file that works in Linux does not work on Windows.

Just a snip it.  Am I missing something?

import py3270
import time

print('')
print('START...')
print('')

print('Hi Mike')
from py3270 import Emulator

# use x3270 so you can see what is going on
em = Emulator(visible=True)

print('')
print('...END')
print('')

START...

Hi Mike

...END

On Windows I am using this and it seems to be working, hopefully it helps you.

from py3270 import *

import sys, os

host = "my.local"

e = Emulator(visible=True)

e.connect(host)

e.wait_for_field()

print('start')

if e.string_found(7,1, 'string'):

print('Found text')

e.terminate()

Also I'm new to Python and py3270 so if anything here can be corrected let me know.

Thanks
