Hi, I have the following peace of code
def getBook(textid, path): url = geturl(textid) if os.path.isfile(path + textid): f = open(path + textid) else: os.system('wget -c ' + url + ' -O ' path + textid) f = open(path + textid) return f The reason I am not using urllib is that I want to have random access within the downloaded file. When i execute the file from a regular python script I get the file downloaded and a handle for the file returned. When I execute the file from a python cgi script i get an error saying that the file doesn't exist. In other words the call to os.system is not running. Could someone please point out what the problem with that peace of code running as a cgi script. Best.
