I have a class which extends 'file' .... class MyFile(file): def __init__(self, fname, mode='r'): file.__init__(self, fname, mode)
def write(self, str): print "writing a string" file.write(self, str) def writelines(self, lines): print "writing lines" file.writelines(self, lines) I use this with subprocess.... f = MyFile('out.txt', 'w') p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=f) ....and I can see that stuff goes into out.txt.....however, I never see "writing a string" or "writing lines" from the class MyFile. Any ideas what methods the stdout (and I guess stderr) of Popen objects from subprocess call? Any suggestions on how to find out? I did try adding to MyFile.... def __call__(self, *args): print "calling:", args return file.__call__(self, *args) but I never see that either. thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
