Are you sure that this shebang is correct? I've tested that on bash and have similar error: # t1.sh #\!/bin/sh echo "t1" >>> from subprocess import call >>> call(['./t1.sh']) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 413, in call return Popen(*args, **kwargs).wait() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 543, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 975, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error But running that directly through the shell works: >>> call(['./t1.sh'], shell=True) t1 0 However this script works fine also without `shell=True` option: # t2.sh #!/bin/sh echo "t2" >>> call(['./t2.sh']) t2 0 HTH, Rob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
