Hi,
I'm a newbie, so please be gentle :-)
How would I run a shell command in Python?
Here is what I want to do:
I want to run a shell command that outputs some stuff, save it into a
list and do stuff with the contents of that list.
I started with a BASH script actually, until I realized I really needed
better data structures :-)
Is popen the answer? Also, where online would I get access to good
sample code that I could peruse?
I'm running 2.2.3 on Linux, and going strictly by online doc so far.
Thanks!

Yes, popen is the answer. I recommend popen4 because it avoids
deadlocks if there is output on stdout and stderr.
Example:
stdout, stdin = popen2.popen4(" tidy -q -errors '%s'" % htmlfile)

There's a Python Cookbook example that should fit nicely with what
you're trying to do here:

In Python 2.4, use the new subprocess module for this. It subsume the
popen* methods. Hi,

I write python command-line programs under Win2k, and I use the bash shell
from Cygwin. I cannot use Cygwin's python package because of a binary
module which has to be compiled with Visual C 6.
My scripts start with a '#!/usr/bin/env python' shebang, as God intended.
Now, I assume I can make cmd.exe run foo.py by asociating *.py with the
python interpreter.

Can anyone give me a snippet for running a python program over all the files

For ex: I have ten files in a directory and I want to run a python program
against all of these files, I wish to do the same using another python code
instead of running each of these files one by one, which would be cumbersome
giving the argv of each file every single time.
This can be easily done using a shell script but I just...

I have a running python script (capisuit incoming.py). This script shall

Hi. I'm writing a command shell that reads commands from standard input.
At this point I have the command in a std::string. Now I want to execute
this command in the shell. From the Borland newsgroups I learned that there
is a function in stdlib.h called system.
int system(const char *command);
First question, is the system command ANSI compliant. Because I include

Hello All,
I am helping someone write a python script to run their DOS application
through an SSH terminal. It seems that this program wants to access a
DOS shell and send output there. If running remotely, this causes a
problem because it locks up the program. The program seems (to me) to be
looking for some non-existant DOS shell to send its output to. How might
I emulate this shell (or whatever it is) with python? I have tried...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
