> The command I need to run is "BYPASSROOT=yes > ./octosetupBROADCASTER-linux_i386.bin"
Semantically, the command above means: execute "./octosetupBROADCASTER-linux_i386.bin" in an environment that binds BYPASSROOT to "yes". The subprocess.Popen command takes in an optional "env" argument, so that's what you want to provide when creating this new subprocess. Here's a link to the documentation. https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen So you'll probably want to do something like: envCopy = os.environ.copy() envCopy['BYPASSROOT'] = 'yes' subprocess.Popen(["./octosetupBROADCASTER-linux_i386.bin"], env=envCopy) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
