I'm trying to perform following type of operation from inside a python script. 1. Open an application shell (basically a tcl ) 2. Run some commands on that shell and get outputs from each command 3. Close the shell
I could do it using communicate if I concatenate all my commands ( separated by newline ) and read all the output in the end. So basically I could do following sequence: 1. command1 \n command2 \n command 3 \n 2. Read all the output But I want to perform it interactively. 1. command1 2. read output 3. command2 4. read output ...... Following is my code: from subprocess import * p2 = Popen('qdl_tcl',stdin=PIPE,stdout=PIPE) o,e = p2.communicate(input='qdl_help \n qdl_read /home/rokit/ svnproject/falcon/chip/blocks/intf/bitsif/rtl/m6_bitsif.qdl_cpp \n qdl_reg_group_list m6_bitsif') Please suggest a way to perform it interactively with killing the process each time I want to communicate with it. Thanks in advance, -Rahul. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
