I spent half a day trying to convert this bash script (on Mac)
textutil -convert html $1 -stdout | pandoc -f html -t markdown -o $2
into Python using subprocess pipes.
It works if I save the above into a shell script called convert.sh and then do
subprocess.check_call(["convert.sh", file, markd

I'm an English major who hacks scripts together to do things as needed.
I used this code from the Python Cookbook for years.

Just upgraded to Mavericks, the new OS X, Python is:
Python 2.7.5 (default, Aug 25 2013, 00:04:04)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.0 (clang-500.0.68)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
(On Mountain Lion, it was 2.7.2. You can install Python
errors in Mac OS X; some Ruby ones and some Prince ones) and convert
it to Python so I can fix it myself, because I don't know Ruby at all, and
would rather work in Python.

Any pointers?
Thanks a bunch,

I sometimes see that error on Linux when trying to run a script with
DOS line endings. Is it an imported file? I don't know Macs, but start

No apologies necessary, especially since you reported the final

As long as we are all guessing, do you perhaps mean raw_input?
my_name = raw_input("What is your name? ")
What is your name? Rick

No telling what Windows will do. :)
I am a mere hobbyist programmer, but I think real programmers will
tell you that it is a bad habit to use relative paths. Use absolute
paths instead and remove all doubt.
