Hey, I did write the following: but it does not work.
import subprocess as sp try: = sp.Popen("DIR . /AD /B", stdout=sp.PIPE) result = p.communicate()[0] print result except: print "error" This throws error. DIR . /AD /B will list out only directories in the current directory. Thanks, Indu On Aug 9, 11:46 am, "Diez B.
