Hi Jesse. > cmd_set = ['wget', '-nv', '-O dir/cpan.txt', 'http://search.span.org'] [snip] >proc = Popen(cmd_set, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
wget will treat this as $ wget -nv '-O dir/cpan.txt' "http://search.cpan.org" And will emit the following error because there's no pathname ' dir/cpan.txt'. (Note the pathname has a trailing space.) dir/cpan.txt: No such file or directory Replace '-O dir/cpan.txt" with '-Odir/cpan.txt' or '-O', 'dir/cpan.txt' and it should work.
