Yes, I tried running the exact same command line in a Windows shell and it worked fine. Note that the buggy.py script echoes the command line and then immediately calls os.system with it. E.g.: print "strCmdLine=[%s]" % strCmdLine nRtn = os.system(strCmdLine) I tried running the script in a shell window, watched it fail, then immediately cut and pasted the command line that had been echoed out by the script to the command line prompt in the same shell, ran it and it succeeded. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1524> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
