How to respond to a confirmation prompt automatically
Just to give you some background about my problem: I execute os.system(command), where command is a string. On the command line in windows, I get: "Continue, and unload these objects? [no]" I need to respond 'y' to continue, but I am uncertain on how to output the 'y' automatically. Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
