Just continue reading until end-of-file, just like you'd read any other file! (for instance when reading a file line-by-line). The PDF is still being produced as you read it, so just read on until end of file and append it to your buffer. (Perhaps you can read it line-by-line, isn't PDF as sort of text format?)

If I call the batch from python with win32pipe.popen, giving two real files as soure and destination, it works fine. Calling the batch with a '-' for destination, the output is send to stdout. But if I try to fetch it inside python I get only roundabout 300 bytes and the rest is lost (with the read method). If I add another read statement I get a few other bytes from the stdout. code: pipe = win32pipe.popen('..\\ps2pdf.bat test.ps -','r') msvcrt.setmode(pipe.fileno(),O_BINARY) pdf_file=pipe.read() pipe.close() /code Is there a way the fetch the hole content of stdout ? second question: I'm wondering how to set the stdin for the subprocess: (input,output) = win32pipe.popen2('my_command input.write(my_content)) would the above statement set the stdin pipe of my_command with my_content ? thanks in advance J�rgen _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
