I had the original dir work but when I tried to trade it out with vim it isn't clear how I should call it.. vim filename and it doesn't find filename for some reason. I called it pipe and then inport pipe def load_instrument3(instr_name, csd_name): if sys.platform == 'win32': shell, commands, tail = ('gvim' + csd_name, (csd_name, csd_name), '\r\n') else: shell, commands, tail = ('sh', ('ls', 'echo HELLO WORLD'), '\n') a = pipe.Popen(shell, stdin=pipe.PIPE, stdout=pipe.PIPE) print pipe.recv_some(a), for cmd in commands: pipe.send_all(a, csd_name) print pipe.recv_some(a), pipe.send_all(a, csd_name) print pipe.recv_some(a, e=0) a.wait() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
