Sorry, I copy/pasted the text from the wrong place, which is why the slashes incorrectly were there. They definitely were not there in producing the bug.
I just ran it again. I restarted the shell, and then: >>> import os; os.system('Z:\Data\ClustalW\\clustalw >>> Z:\Data\Output\\junk.fasta') -1073741510 >>> import rpy RHOME= C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.1 RVERSION= 2.4.1 RVER= 2041 RUSER= I:\ Loading the R DLL C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.1\bin\R.dll .. Done. Loading Rpy version 2041 .. Done. Creating the R object 'r' .. Done >>> import os; os.system('Z:\Data\ClustalW\\clustalw >>> Z:\Data\Output\\junk.fasta') 1 >>> The first time the command os.system('Z:\Data\ClustalW\\clustalw Z:\Data\Output\\junk.fasta') is called, before rpy is imported, it works fine. The second time, eg., after rpy is loaded, you get the error I described. (I can't read out the command shell response because system doesn't return it, but I spend a long time looking at the flickering window and I'm quite sure as to what the error was.)
