Hi there! I'm trying to convert a video in a background process. The scenario I'm after: 1. The user uploads a video 2. The video is saved in my media directory, and the database is populated with the references 3. The video gets converted to FLV - but the user shouldn't have to wait around for this to happen
So, I thought to myself that spawnv would be a good fit for this. The problem is that it doesn't fire of the command. Here's my test script: http://dpaste.com/hold/7981/ Why won't this work? The while-loop is printed, but the os command isn't executed. I've also tried to specify the whole path to mencoder (/opt/local/bin/mencoder), but to no use. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
