Hello, I've been reading the Python docs on how to call a 2nd program and getting it's output, and would up here:
http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html Is: from subprocess import Popen output = Popen(["mycmd", "myarg"], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0] Really the replacement for: output = `mycmd myarg` Is there a less verbose, yet still official supported, way to capture STDOUT from a different program? Thank you, :) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
