I found something interesting while working in idle.I have windows vista and python2.5
if i do import subprocess proc =subprocess.Popen('cmd.exe',stdin=subprocess.PIPE,stdout=subprocess.PIPE) output = proc.communicate('dir\n')[0] print repr(output) This dosen't work in idle while if it put it up in a script and run it as python script.py then it works Its strange? Aditya
