It might happen when the program hasn't terminated yet. You have to make
sure the program has terminated before you read the file. Subprocess and
its wait() should help.

Not, apparently, on my (XP SP2) box:
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.system ("""python -c "f=open
('temp.txt','w');f.wr
New submission from Stefan Sonnenberg-Carstens:
When doing such
os.system("a command wich writes a outfile")
f = open("the file the command before wrote")
the file is empty.
If I do this:
os.popen("a command wich writes a outfile")
f = open("the file the command before wrote")
everything is f
