You shouldn't ever explicitly call gnome-terminal; I might not like
gnome-terminal or even have it installed. Use x-terminal-emulator instead.
Second, why are you opening a new terminal window instead of using a text
field widget or printing to stdout? that's bad manners. Still, in general
it's a bad idea to embed a terminal in your app. You should probably just
do the searching/parsing of the string in your code and display a list of
options instead of making the user scroll through piles of text.
something like:
match = re.search('parport.*\nAddress: (.*)', os.popen('lspci -v').read())
if match: print match.groups()
I don't see anything specifically labeled "parport" or "ISA" or "parallel"
on this machine's lspci output, even though it has a (builtin) parport.
So, now I'm wondering what you were trying to do in the first place.
