Hi, I am pretty new to python but i do have experience with c++. As a part of learning exercise i wrote a python script to insert beautifying comments(with name, problem...) to our lab program source files (c language).
The script is working for most of the cases. The problem is i also need to append the test output of the lab programs to the corresponding source files(again the output should be added as a beautified comment). The lab programs are interactive and very different from each other. Currently in the script, i am prompting the user(me!) to manually enter the output of the program which it to be inserted. I want to eliminate this tedious step. for eg i want "python commenter.py lab1.c" to initially prepend comments with my name... and then spawn lab1.exe , capture its output and append it with comments to lab1_com.c My initial attempts of using spawn.. , exec.. pipe.. failed since they can't capture the std input and std output continuously. The lab1.exe will be something like Enter 2 nos 2 3 The sum is 5 Now i should be able to capture all these. Is this possible ? If so please do give me some hints on how to achieve this.
