Thank you all folks for your time and assistance.

In that case, why not use what gnuyoga suggested - i.e. -
commands.getstatusoutput("scp ..."). If the first entry in the
returned tuple is 0, the command executed successfully, if not, then
it didn't :). I think you can trust python to get the correct exit
code without actually parsing the output f

This is not an easy thing to do. You can capture any error output by scp
by redirecting the error stream,
For example,
$ scp names.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/anand 2>out.txt
$ more out.txt
names.txt: no such file or directory
However trying to capture the output stream (with no error) does not
Hi Rishabh,
My script needs to fetch some critical config files from 200+ servers, process
them and put them back in place. I need to make sure at each step that I am
doing the right thing.
So, I though i would make sure to see "100%" each time I download a config
file and then only proceed fu
Kartheek,
It seems like what you want to do is a bit complicated -
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/how-to-redirect-the-scp-command-output-to-text-file.-629034/.
Maybe if you can explain why you need the exact string that scp
outputs, somebody can suggest alternatives.

A typical scp transaction would result in an output as below:
---
temp.conf 100% 23
0.0KB/s 00:00
---
I am interested in capturing

what do u mean by scp output ?

u have to get the standard error stream as well
u can take a look at commands module

Hi Rishabh,
Unfortunately the remote servers that house these config files do not have them
on either www or ftp, my only mode of access is scp
This was a good learning for me , i did not know that something like urllib
existed..
Thanks for the inputs

You can redirect stdout and stderr to a file. Check out the following
section from Dive into Python, that has sample code:

Did you take a look at using urllib[1] or urllib2[2]?? You can use
them to download your file, save it and process any meta (header) info
returned.
[1] - http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib.html
[2] - http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib2.html

Hi,
I am trying to find a way from which I could redirect standard output to a
variable.
The server I am using runs, Python 2.2.1 [subprocess module is not there, and
my ops team denies for an upgrade]
I am writing a script that downloads a configuration file from remote
