Hi, I'm experimenting with Python and I need a little help with this. What I'd like is to launch an interactive shell, having the chance to send first several commands from python. I've written the following code:
============= #!/usr/bin/env python import sys, subprocess exe = "/bin/sh" params = "-i" proc = subprocess.Popen([exe, params], stdin=subprocess.PIPE) proc.stdin.write("id\n") while True: line = sys.stdin.readline() if not line: break proc.stdin.write(line) sys.exit() ============= The problem is that when I launch it, python proggy is automatically suspended. The output I got is: ro...@rslabs:~/pruebas$ ./shell.py ro...@rslabs:~/pruebas$ uid=1000(roman) gid=1000(roman) groups=1000(roman) ro...@rslabs:~/pruebas$ [2]+ Stopped ./shell.py ro...@rslabs:~/pruebas$ Why and how to fix it? Would you suggest a better and more elegant way to do what I want? Thank you. -- Saludos, -Roman PGP Fingerprint: 09BB EFCD 21ED 4E79 25FB 29E1 E47F 8A7D EAD5 6742 [Key ID: 0xEAD56742.
