Hi,

I'm new to python and I'm trying to porting some scripts from v0.96 to
v2.0.1. A piece of code is like this:

cmd_h = os.popen4(env['SYSCMDLINE'])[1]

the system indicates the popen4 is deprecated and suggest to use
subprocess. Can anybody tell me how to use subprocess in this case?
and what does "[1]" here means?

os.popen4 returns a tuple of (child_stdin, child_stdout_and_stderr).
The [1] gets the child_stdout_and_stderr member.

Using the subprocess module:

# Untested!
cmd_h = subprocess.Popen(env['SYSCMDLINE'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True).stdout

Explanation:

The command line: env['SYSCMDLINE']

Return stdout: stdout=subprocess.PIPE

stderr should be combined with stdout: stderr=subprocess.STDOUT

Let the shell parse the command line: shell=True
