Instead of going to the command line all the time, I want to create
a small
customized cmd.exe of my own,
I'm not sure that I understand what you are trying to do.
But trying to replace cmd.exe is a very very bad idea.
Lots of bits of your operatinfg system rely on cmd.exe
and bad things are likely to start happening!
how can I get the return value from
os.system()
Same as any other function:
retval = os.system('notepad.exe')
because I was thinking I can do soothing with os.system(), In
case my question is not clear, just like an IDE that plugged in
another
.exe application.
Sorry, that didn't clarify anything for me! :-)
Are you trying to write your own operating system shell
environment (to use instead of cmd.exe)? Are you trying to
write a Python based command shell? Or are you trying
to create your own IDE?
I'm confused.
