I am new to Python and am trying to write a GUI wrapper script in python 2.5 to get username and passwords from Linux users to send as options to run an app on a 2X terminal server. I came across the easygui module and its multpasswordbox function, which made popping a dialog box and storing the usernames very painless.
However, subprocess.call as implemented below doesn't work. For some reason the "-s ts.mycompany.org:80" parameter is being interpreted differently by the application when sent from the python script than it does when sent from the BASH script below. The :80 is the default port so it isn't technically required, but the script doesn't work without it either. Any ideas where I should look? Is subprocess.call the best way to do what I want? Any advice would be most appreciated. Here's the broken bit: print "Reply was:", fieldValues print "Reply was:", fieldValues[0], fieldValues[1] subprocess.call(["/opt/2X/Client/bin/appserverclient", "-u fieldValues [0]", "-p fieldValues[1]", "-s ts.mycompany.org:80", "-d corp", "-S local", "-c 16", "-e 0xF", "-l 0x0409", "-a #1"]) Output: m...@work:~/bin$ ./demo2.py Reply was: ['MyUsername', 'MyPassword'] Reply was: MyUsername MyPassword ERROR in CTcpConnector: ts.mycompany.org: unable to resolve host Error 7: TCP/IP connection: unable to resolve host. This BASH script runs correctly: m...@work:~/bin$ cat 2xconnect #!/bin/bash USER=$1 PASS=$2 /opt/2X/Client/bin/appserverclient \ -u "$USER" \ -p "$PASS" \ -s ts.mycompany.org:80 \ -d corp \ -S local \ -c 16 \ -e 0xF \ -l 0x0409 \ -m 2G \ -a "#1" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
