Are you merely > observing that it's applicable in fewer circumstances? Absolutely so. Commands.getoutput is simple, quick and useful, just less versatile. Maybe "not very good" is a pretty vague, almost emotive-sounding way of putting it.

You can do this in various ways, ranging from the very simple and not very good
from commands import getoutput
x=getoutput(command)
- to your more common and better popens.
ie:
import popen2
(stdOut, stdIn) = popen2.popen4(command)
x=stdOut.readlines()
- asynchronously if appropriate.
How are you running the command at the moment?

Getting output from external programs...
Hi,
i'm making an mp3 conversion program in Python, but am kind of stuck
now.
The conversion routines work, using LAME, but now a i'm building a GUI
with GLADE around it, and would like to be able to show LAME's output
to the user in a status window in my gui.. but don't know where to
start...
The command i use to invoke LAME is this :
command = ("lame -b " +
str(bitrate) + " " + infile + " \"" + dir_outpath + separator + outfile
+ "\"")
