Hi,

I'm preparing a script which will launch an external program (a JAR), process the XML file that results, tar the files output from the processed XML, and FTP the tarball to a remote location.

The middle and the end are just fine, but running the external program and tarring the results have me hung up.

I see system, popen and tarfile available in the modules list, but not on the Mac version.

I need to be able to give the external (JAR) command line arguments based on the system clock.

I could adapt a Perl script that currently does this task, but where would be the fun in that?

I'm running OS X.3.7 and Python 2.3.

Thanks for your help.

Bill
