Ah! I see now. That makes prefect sense. I guess I was thinking that python was simply going to pass a whole command string to the program rather than give each argument as individual strings. Seeing this makes the documentation seem much more sensible. Thank you! -- http://mail.python.org/m

Starting terminal applications from within python

Hi I'm staring to learn python for some systems administration projects and so far this looks like a really great alternative to using shell for everything. The python docs on the web site are really great, but I could use come clarification on passing arguments using the os.spawnlp() function.
