Weird, I had the correct quotes in my script, maybe I've pasted with some error. This is my current script, (and though I got it working with the subprocess.call I don't know how to use a pure Python version. for the following data, authentication = "UID=somestring&" message = 'PROBLEM severity High: OperatorX Plat1(locationY) global Succ. : 94.470000%' dest_number = 'XXXXXXXXXXX' url_values = urlencode({'M':message}) enc_data = authentication + url_values + dest_number I'm getting null for full_url = Request(url, enc_data, headers) and thus, response = urlopen(full_url).read() returns, TypeError: <exceptions.TypeError instance at 0x2b4d88ec6440> ) #!/usr/bin/env python import sys import os import subprocess from urllib import urlencode, urlopen from urllib2 import Request destination = sys.argv[1] msg = sys.argv[2] authentication = "UID=somestring&" dest_number = "&N=%s" % destination message = '%s' % msg url_values = urlencode({'M':message}) enc_data = authentication + url_values + dest_number url = 'http://10.112.28.221:38080/GwHTTPin/sendtext' subprocess.call('echo "%s" | /usr/bin/POST -P "%s"' % (enc_data, url), shell=True) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
