Thank you for your help but I'm searching a different way. Moreover it doesn't work always (for exaple: try a 'dir' command). Because of I'm implementing a remote shell the [[os.popen('command').read()]] rapresents the best for me because it can also accepts arguments direclty (for example: os.popen('netstat -a -n -o').read() and this is a great advantage. I was looking at sys.stdout and sys.stderr. Can they be helpful?
