I'm a python n00b and so pardon me in advance if this is really stupid question.
I have my suspicions but why does the following not work the way I'm anticipating it will? (python 2.4.4) >>> import os >>> if (os.system('echo test')): ... print 'success' ... else: ... print 'failed' ... test failed >>> if (os.system('echosadf test')): ... print 'success' ... else: ... print 'failed' ... sh: echosadf: command not found success >>> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
