Hello, I'm trying to use subprocess to drive a Perl script. I'm having some trouble getting it to spot the command line arguments. Basically, if I call subprocess(args).wait() where args has a second item, I can't convince the Perl script to see it. Below is a pretty small example. If someone could get me unstuck, I'd appreciate it. (Python 2.4.4c1, if that helps.)
Thanks, Jim ................. /home/ftpmaint/test.pl................ #!/usr/bin/env perl print "\$0 is -->$0<--\n"; print "\$ARGV[0] is -->$ARGV[0]<--\n"; die "usage: $0 PKGNAME\n" unless @ARGV == 1; .............../home/ftpmaint/subtest.py................. import os,subprocess args=['/home/ftpmaint/test.pl','a'] p=subprocess.Popen(args,shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE,cwd=os.getcwd()) retCode=p.wait() print "retCode=",retCode print "stdout>>",p.stdout.read() print "stderr>>",p.stderr.read() ........... some command line work ..............
