Python doesn't split the arguments, you've already split them. And you're not using shell=, so you don't invoke bash. However, the shell example (not using python) DOES split the arguments by spaces, and you have to replicate what the shell would do. Beyond that I cannot help. I'm not at all familiar with vlc. -- DaveA _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
