I am a Python newbie, tasked with automating (researching) building Windows drivers using the WDK build environment. I've been looking into Python for this (instead of writing a bunch of batch files).
What I would like to do, is to open a cmd window, and start a Python script. This script would then (based upon input arguments), build different flavors of the driver (fre, chk, x86, x64) and do some post processing (create cat files, sign, etc.). I was hoping to take advantage as much as possible of exisiting infrastructure from the WDK. I am able to call setenv.bat and provide all the input parameters. One of the things setenv.bat does is change the path environment variable. However, this is not captured by Python. I could duplicate the functionality, but I'd rather not. Is there a way to capture all enviroment variable changes being made by a batch file from Python? Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
