Hi all, I am a relative newbie to python, I am using os.popen to run an ls command. The output that I get using the read() function is different in look and feel from when I run the ls command natively from the shell (not via python). I display the ouput via python by using the print function on the variable that accepts the os.popen ().read() function.
For example: output from native shell (as seen on the bash shell) file1 file2 dir1(highlighted in blue color) file3longnamewhichwillcausenextfiletoappearonnextline file 4 output from python (as seen on the bash shell) file1 file2 dir1 (no blue color) file3longnamewhichwillcausenextfiletoappearonnextline file4 Is there an easy way to "mirror" the output. When python displays the output, how can it tell the bash shell that some of the entries are directories and they should appear blue on the bash shell, and that everything should not be appearing on 1 column only. Thanks for any pointers. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
