The commands module is not supported on Windows. It's kind of strange, because
the module is present, but it doesn't work.
>>> import commands
>>> commands.getoutput('java')
"'{' is not recognized as an internal or external command,\noperable program or
batch file."
Note the '{' - this is the unrecognized command. From the docs for command:
cmd is actually run as { cmd ; } 2>&1
which shows where the { comes from...

That looks like a windows error not a python problem. Python cannot find the path to the uptime executable. You need to either fully qualify the uptime command ( C:\path\to\uptime ) or somehow set the path in the python environment. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Try the subprocess module, something like
results = subprocess.Popen('uptime AUTO-SRV-001 /s /d:04/01/2005',
stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]

Re: [Tutor] Run a cmd program
Thanks a lot. However, it didn't work. I got an error stating something
along: "Is not recognized as an internal or external command, executable
program or .. file" (I don't know how to translate the word . to
english).
But, when I looked in the manual about the commands module, I found this:
"Availability: Unix." That might explain. However, in the manual I also
found two other commands to try. 'Execl' which made PythonWin 2.3.5 crash
regardless how I used it, and os.popen. The latter worked perfectly.
Have a great day
import commands
commands.getoutput("uptime AUTO-SRV-001 /s /d:04/01/2005")

[Tutor] Run a cmd program
Hello. I need to run a program (http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/management/uptime/default.asp) thru Python. It is normally run such as "uptime AUTO-SRV-001 /s /d:04/01/2005" in the command prompt. Is it possible to run a already compiled exe file in Python and thereafter get the result out? What module/command should I look for to run another program? Googling have only given me results about how to run Python..
