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

script not opening applications

[elrondrules]

hi

i have a html as follows:






my hello.py is as follows



import os

os.system ("export DISPLAY=10.0.1.1:0.0")
os.system ("./Test &") #Testtool opens a new window



What I expected this to do was once I click "Run Test" it should run
the hello.py script and open a new window for the Test application.
both the hello.py and the test application are in the cgi-bin
directory

If I run the hello.py in the command line it works fine but not
through the html...

Any idea as to whats missing..

Thanks

the reason I wanted to write it as a file was to parse the file, look 
for a specific attribute and execute a set of commands based on the 
value of the attribute.. also i needed to display the output of the 
http post in a more readable format..

Convert raw data to XML

[elrondrules]

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

SomeText PassorFail

without spaces or new lines. I need this to be written into an XML 
file as



   
  
  
 SomeText
  
  
 PassorFail
  
  


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

help with subscription to a process

[elrondrules]

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.
I have creted an interface where if I specify the port number on which
the listener is running the process A will automatically start posting
events.

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..

Thanks
