Hi !
I have Py 2.3.5, and subprocess is placed in version 2.4.
The os.popen is not good, because it is not get return value. I can read
the return value, but the message is os dependent (XP, 2k, NT).
I create this function. It is not too good, but it is working:
def Cmd(cmd,tmpdir="./"):
outfn='%s/_out.msg'%tmpdir
errfn='%s/_err.msg'%tmpdir
post="1>%s 2>%s"%(outfn,errfn)
cmd2='%s %s'%(cmd,post)
r=os.system(cmd2)
f=open(outfn,"r")
try:
s1=f.read()
finally:
f.close()
f=open(errfn,"r")
try:
s2=f.read()
finally:
f.close()
s="\n".join([s1,s2]).strip()
return (r,s)
Anyone have a better idea ?
Thanks for it: dd
