Hi,
i made a backup script to backup my postgres database.
Problem is that it prompts for a password. It thought i
could solve this by using popen2.
I tested popen2 with dir (i'm on windows 2000, python 2.4.3)
and it works.
However when i try popen2 and my pg_dump command, it prompts
for a password and I was under the impression that i was
going to be able to dynamically communicate with the process.
sin, sout = popen2(backup_command)
sin.readline() # the password prompt
sout.write("password")
sin.readlines()
How can i catch the password prompt and feed the password
from my code?
Thanks,
Benedict
