What is wrong with doing something like:
import logging, subprocess
ch = logging.StreamHandler()
ch.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
s = subprocess.Popen( ['ls','-la'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE )
while 1:
ch.info( s.stdout.readline() )
if s.poll() == None:
break
Perhaps not the most efficient or clean solution, but that is how I
usually do it (note: I didn't test the above code).
