I have this bit of code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess
calc = subprocess.Popen("dc", stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
max = 5
for value in range(1, max):
calcout, calcerr = calc.communicate("%d\n" % value)
print("Post Communicate Value %d: %s (%s) [%d]" %
(value, calcout, calcerr, calc.returncode))
if value > 1:
calcout, calcerr = calc.communicate("*\n")
calcout, calerr = calc.communicate("p\n")
print("Value: %d = %d" %
(calcout, reduce(lambda x,y: x * y, range(1, max))))
calc.communicate("q\n")
status = calc.wait()
print "Exited with: %d" % status
### End Code
After the first number is input, the subprocess is exiting after the
first communicate. I do not understand why. I have tried to accomplish
the same thing with os.popen and popen2.Popen. I can't get anything to
work and I am having a difficult time finding examples that include
both redirected input and output from a subprocess. I am wanting to do
work with a more complicated program, but was looking to get something
simple working first.
Any help would be much appreciated. I have been hunting quite a bit for
he answer to no avail.
