Alright, after some more searching I figured out my answer. First off, the test statements I posted were wrong. The first argument passed to execlp is the executable name, so: > os.execlp(self.executable_name, "-?") Should be > os.execlp(self.executable_name, self.executable_name, "-?")
That works now. So I applied the same thing to the original client.py file: def runshell(self): - args = [''] + args = [self.executable_name] db = settings.DATABASE_OPTIONS.get('db', settings.DATABASE_NAME) user = settings.DATABASE_OPTIONS.get('user', settings.DATABASE_USER) ... print "self.executable_name:", self.executable_name print "args:", args os.execvp(self.executable_name, args) And I get this: > self.executable_name: mysql > args: ['mysql', '--user=test', '--password=test', 'test'] > > Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. > Your MySQL connection id is 212 > Server version: 5.0.51a-community-nt-log MySQL Community Edition (GPL) > > Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. > > mysql> So it looks like passing '' as the first argument to execvp() on Windows for mysql doesn't work. If using self.executable_name as the first arg works on other platforms, it looks like this should be changed to fix this bug and make client.py more cross-platform. Can anyone see if it works on unix? Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
