execute commands independantly

Hi, I am trying to execute an executable or a pyton script inside my program. I looked at the subprocess and os module. But all the functions in these modules blocks my application. What I want to do is run the subprocess without any concern. I don't care of its return type or child signals. Just

Re: execute commands independantly

You're right, I tried subprocess.call and os.spawn* functions. Popen is what I will be happy with. Thanks a lot. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Printer List from CUPS

Hi, I want to get the printer list from CUPS. I found some ways using lpstat -p and http://localhost:631/printers but, these ways require some parsing and I am not sure, if the parsing works all the time. A pythonic way would be very helpful. Thanks, Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/lis

stdin and py2exe

Hi, I want create a subprocess using Popen and pipe some input to it. Although everything works perfectly while executing python in, it doesn't work if I try with executables made by py2exe. I think, stdin is invalidated if the program becomes an executable. Because I get a "Bad file descriptor"

Re: stdin and py2exe

Yes, it throws exceptions if I build the exe of the subprogram.py. So, is it possible to pipe some data to another py2exe'd application without a console. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Function Serialization

I want to serialize a function using its pointer. For example >>> s = """ ... def square(number): ... return number**2 ... """ >>> functions = {} >>> exec s in functions >>> f = functions['square'] >>> f Then, 1. Serialize f, 2. Store it into a file a db. One day later, 3. Retrieve from fil

Re: Function Serialization

Michele, thank you for the suggestion, it works as you mention. But in my case the function is inside a string and I should exec the string to get the function. Something like this >>> fields = {} >>> s = 'def f(): pass' >>> exec s in fields >>> f = fields['f'] >>> f >>> import shelve >>> d = sh

Re: Garbage collection with QT

Not all leakage problems caused by qt or python. There is a wrapping layer between Qt and Python provided by SIP. Therefore, SIP may cause leakages. Also PyQt had a paintCell memory leakage problem several months ago. If you're using an old snapshot of PyQt or SIP, that would be a problem. Try usin
