Call Signtool using python

[enda man]

Hi,

I want to call the Windows signtool to sign a binary from a python
script.

Here is my script:
//
os.chdir('./Install/activex/cab')
subprocess.call(["signtool", "sign", "/v", "/f", "webph.pfx", "/t",
"http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll";, "WebPh.exe" ])
//

But I am getting this error:

SignTool Error: The specified PFX password is not correct.

Number of files successfully Signed: 0
Number of warnings: 0
Number of errors: 1
Finished building plugin installer
scons: done building targets.



This python script is called as part of a scons build, which is also
python code.

Anyone seen this before or can pass on any ideas.
Tks,
EM

The same command works when run from the command line but when I run
it from python  using subprocess.call(...) it fails as described in my
first post.  I do not need to use the /p switch as the password is
embedded in the pfx file.
That is why I think it is something I am or am not doing in python.

using subprocess.Popen env parameter

[enda man]

Hi,

I want to use the env parameter to subprocess.Popen to pass in a path
to a location the process needs to run,
I do have a env variable already called MS_VC_PATH and I want to add
to it, not set up more in the PATH variable.

/
ms_vc_path=os.environ['MS_VC_PATH']
cl_path = ms_vc_path + '\VC\bin'
lib_vc_path = ms_vc_path + '\VC\lib'
myenv = os.environ
myenv["PATH"] = cl_path + ";" + lib_vc_path + ";" + myenv["PATH"]

subprocess.Popen("midl /D \"_DEBUG\" /nologo /char signed /env win32 /
Oicf  /tlb \"ActivexPlugin.tlb\" /h \"ActivexPlugin_i.h\" /iid
\"ActivexPlugin_i.c\" /proxy \"ActivexPlugin_p.c\" /error stub_data
ActivexPlugin.idl", env=myenv)

///

but it seems that midl can not see the new path I am sending to it
using the env variable, am I using env correctly?

here is my output:
midl : command line error MIDL1005 : cannot find C preprocessor cl.exe

Any help?
