Thanks Mike,
you have provided another option.
But my question has not been answered yet. The reason, why I use
os.system(), is that I want to avoid accident file deletion by writing a
script. My real script looks like:
# 1. Funtion to execute a command in DOS-console
def execCommand(cmd):
if DEBUG_MODE:
print 'DOS> ' + cmd;
else:
os.system(cmd);
# 2.1 Creates temp folder. Removes it first, if it exists.
if os.path.exists(tmp_folder):
execCommand('RD "' + tmp_folder + '" /S /Q');
execCommand('MD "' + tmp_folder + '"');
# 2.2 Copies all files to the temp folder, that are going to be put in
package.
for source_folder, dest_folder in folders_array:
if not os.path.exists(dest_folder):
execCommand('MD "' + dest_folder + '"');
execCommand('XCOPY \"' + source_folder + '" "' + dest_folder + '" /Y');
The benefit is that, when I set DEBUG_MODE=True, I can see what will be
executed. So that I can make sure that my script will not delete any
other important files by accident.
