hi, there. i have this question which might sound quite stupid to some people, but here we go anyway.
i have written a python program which interacts with a postgresql database. what it does is simply drops an existing database called 'mytempdb'. the code looks like below; link = subprocess.Popen(command, stdin = subprocess.PIPE, stdout = subprocess.PIPE, shell = True) link.communicate(password) link.wait() where command looks like "psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -W -f filename" and filename is the name of the file which contains a single SQL command which is "drop database mytempdb". the program works fine as long as a correct password is supplied, however, i have a problem if the password is incorrect since this exception is *not* handled within the scope of my program, instead, what is does is showing some error messages in the prompt. so my program, without knowing whether an errors has taken place or not, goes on to execute the next task. any clue? please let me know if you think the problem is not well addressed. =) thanks. have a nice one. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
