-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm trying to create a simple gui wrapper for the handbrake dvd ripper with python 2.4 on a FreeBSD system.
My problem is this. I want to scan the dvd to see all the titles and chapters. The handbrake command for this is: handbrake -i /dev/acd0 -t 0 I've tried: cmd = '/usr/local/bin/handbrake -i /dev/acd0 -t 0' rtn = os.popen(cmd) but the script exists before the disk has finished scanning. If I change cmd to 'ls' it work as I expected. My problem is that the scanning of the DVD can take upto a minute or more and os.popen doesn't seem to wait - although I thought it was suppose to? I've tried using subprocess.call and popen2 etc but nothing seems to wait for the return. Can someone give me a hint? - -- Rod "it takes an unusual mind to see the obvious." - - Alfred Whitehead -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFsVWA3rDijyy3LEcRAia4AJ4hWZosgDeFeK4dkKdMg9ZwmAebeACfVqkQ pGiJ7pL1/d1tVszxF0kzSjQ= =Jz9+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
