I would like to redirect the output from os.system to a variable, but am having trouble. I tried using os.popen(..).read() ...but that doesn't give me exactly what i want.
..this is windows by the way. For example: tmp = os.popen("hostname").read() ...works as expected. however, tmp = os.popen("cmd").read() ...i would like to have access to the cmd process...i.e. enter commands like a normal command line. os.system() allows this, but i dont want output to the screen..i wanna store it to a variable. then send content of variable elsewhere, receive more input and submit it. almost emulate the windows command prompt. any ideas? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
