If you're using Python=2.4 you could use the subprocess module. import subprocess child1 = subprocess.Popen([./TestTool], cwd=/home) child2 = subprocess.Popen([sh,run.sh,load.xml], cwd=/usr) Popen objects have a pid attribute. You don't have to use os.system to kill them; use os.kill instead. You'll notice that I leave out the final , because I don't know how to start a background process without using the shell. But I think you can use: bg [pid], afterwards, to get the same result. -- Gabriel Genellina- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - thx for the reply os.kill worked fine for the first process.. for the second one the kill managed to kill the shell but the application is still running.. is there any other work around for this.. thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That's straightforward. You confused people by asking the wrong question. You wrote Convert raw data to XML, but what you want to do is parse XML and extract data from it. This will do what you want: http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/ For starters, try from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulStoneSoup xmlstring = somexml ## get your XML into here as one big string soup = BeautifulStoneSoup(xmlstring)# parse XML into tree print soup.prettify() # print out in indented format soup is a tree structure representing the XML, and there are functions to easily find items in the tree by tag name, attribute, and such. Work on the tree, not a file with the text of the indented output. John Nagle is there any other way to do this without using BeautifulStoneSoup.. using existing minidom or ext.. i dont want to install anything new -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Convert raw data to XML
Hi I am running a HTTP server which receives post from a process. In my do_POST method am receiving raw data. I know that this raw data has a valid XML content and I need to convert this into an XML file. Are there any routines to do this.. if not how to write one.. For example the raw data is as follows ?xml version=1.0 ?BlahABCId id=1/DescriptionSomeText / DescriptionResultPassorFail/Result/ABC/Blah without spaces or new lines. I need this to be written into an XML file as ?xml version=1.0 ? Blah ABC Id id=1/ Description SomeText /Description Result PassorFail /Result /ABC /Blah The tags in the raw data are not the same alaways.. Hence I need a generic routine that does the trick Any pointers for this issue would help Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
help with subscription to a process
Hi I am new to python and hence need some help i have a process A that posts events as XML docs. I need to create a listener to this process that subscribes to the process A and as and when a XML doc is posted parse it.

The place I need help is to create a listener and a way of parsing the XML docs. If you can give me some starting points or docs/resources that will be great..
