Please help me in solving the following issue I am facing while executing my python script. Basically I am executing the OS specific move command to move a file/dir from one location to another.
Why? Why not use os.rename or shutil.move which already do whatever is needed under the covers for different Operating Systems? os.popen returns a file-like object from which you can read any error messages generated. You're not doing that, and os.popen won't raise an error itself unless you, say, pass it a number rather than a string. <code> import os output = os.popen ("dir") print output.read () # # But note: # os.popen ("Nonsen*se") # raises no exception </code> TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
