Hi I've started a wrapper of Glib's spawning utilities. See http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-Spawning-Processes.html I've wrapped 2 functions so far : gboolean g_spawn_command_line_async (const gchar *command_line, GError **error); This one let you start a program from your pygtk code, it is roughly the same as fork() followed by exec(). (very easy to wrap ...) gboolean g_spawn_command_line_sync (const gchar *command_line, gchar **standard_output, gchar **standard_error, gint *exit_status, GError **error); This one is more interesting for you, it is basically the same as popen() (no standard input though) (quite simple to wrap) I can provide my code if anyone is interested, it may even be included in pygtk FAQ, because popen() doesn't work as expected with gnome-python. -- Olivier Blin _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
