Hi there,

     I'm have a tough time figuring out how to get su and subprocess
working. I have

PIPE=subprocess.pipe

sbp=subprocess.Popen
(["su","-",stdin=PIPE,stdout=PIPE,close_fds=True,shell=True)

how I thought that it was supposed to work was it would allow me to use
sbp.communicate() to
send stuff to the stdin, and get information out. What do get is a prompt
ask for my password. Does
anybody have an example that I can see (I have already check most of the
entries in google( or should
I just use pexpect instead?

-Thanks,
Tino
