Hi, I am running Python script in W2K or in WinXP. The script is started from DOS prompt and writes text file to disk with codecs.open() in UTF8.
The problem is: When script writes the file and tries to read it with by calling itself thru subprocess() the created files are NOT accessible because they have not been written into disk yet. fh.flush() and os.fsync() do not work. -- extract from "myscript.py" starts -- fh = codecs.open("myfile.txt", "w", "utf8") fh.write("# Comment line\n") fh.writelines("some list") fh.flush() fh.close() then later: mycmd = "%s -f %s" % ("myscript.py", "myfile.txt") subprocess.call(mycmd, shell=True) This fails: "myfile.txt" is not yet written into disk and the "myscript.py" called thru subprocess fails. Only after the main script exits will "myfile.txt" occur into the directory. Previously I had Perl script calling shell script thru "system" -command. My plan is to rewrite everything with Python. -pekka- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
