Hello, I am attempting to use pexpect in python to copy files from a server using scp; the copy works however exceptions are thrown and it exits unsuccessfully. Below is the a sample code and the error:
#Begin Code import sys import pexpect def GetServerData(self): foo = pexpect.spawn('scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/config/ role{/file1,/files/file2,/files/file3} /tmp') foo.expect('.*password:*') foo.sendline('server_password') foo.interact() #End Code #Begin Output file1 100% 10KB 10.0KB/s 00:01 file2 100% 946 0.9KB/s 00:00 file3 100% 1655 1.6KB/s 00:00 Traceback (most recent call last): File "mygui.py", line 6, in ? f = Form1() File "/home/Kevin/form1.py", line 41, in __init__ self.GetServerData() File "/home/Kevin/form1.py", line 84, in GetServerData foo.interact() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pexpect.py", line 1062, in interact selfw.__interact_copy(escape_character) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pexpect.py", line 1086, in __interact_copy data = self.__interact_read(self.child_fd) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pexpect.py", line 1075, in __interact_read return os.read(fd, 1000) OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error #End Output The problem seems to be with the call foo.interact(); does anyone know how to fix this? Any help will be much appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
