Create DDE server in python and send data continuously

问题

I am trying to write a DDE server in python which needs to send a continuously changing string to a program which is connected as a DDE client.

The program which connects to a DDE server uses the following DDE settings to connect [Service: Orbitron, Topic: Tracking, Item: Tracking]. The program has to receive information that is sent by the DDE server in the following string format: "UP0 DN145000001 UMusb DMfm AZ040 EL005 SNNO SATELLITE".

The content of this string changes approximately every second and I want the DDE server to send the new string to the connected DDE client, for example every second.

I am currently using the code below, which is a slightly modified version of the original ddeserver.py file, see here.

import win32ui
from pywin.mfc import object
import dde


class MySystemTopic(object.Object):
        def __init__(self):
                object.Object.__init__(self, dde.CreateServerSystemTopic())

        def Exec(self, cmd):
                print "System Topic asked to exec", cmd

class MyOtherTopic(object.Object):
        def __init__(self, topicName):
                object.Object.__init__(self, dde.CreateTopic(topicName))

        def Exec(self, cmd):
                print "Other Topic asked to exec", cmd

class MyRequestTopic(object.Object):
        def __init__(self, topicName):
                topic = dde.CreateTopic(topicName)
                topic.AddItem(dde.CreateStringItem(""))
                object.Object.__init__(self, topic)

        def Request(self, aString):
                print "Request Topic sent: ", aString
                a="UP0 DN145800001 UMusb DMfm AZ040 EL005 SNNO SATELLITE"
                print a
                return(a)


server = dde.CreateServer()
server.AddTopic(MyRequestTopic("Tracking"))
server.Create('Orbitron')    

while 1:
        win32ui.PumpWaitingMessages(0, -1)

When I run the code I can successfully connect with the program and the string (as provided in the code) is received one time. I tried a few different things but I can not think of a way yet how to change to python code in order to have the DDE server continuously resend the string in a loop or similar.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

P.S. I am relatively new to python, DDE and this forum, my apologies if something is unclear. Just let me know.

ddeServer = dde.CreateServer()

ddeServer.AddTopic(ddeTopic)

while True:

    ddeTopic.setData('Tracking', yourData)

    time.sleep(0.1)
