Win32 popen with py2exe



Hey,

Does os.popen() actually work in a py2exe win32 package?

As far as I can tell, it just doesn't seem to do anything,
although it seems to work ok outside of py2exe.

Any hints? There does seem to be a popen.exe combined
with py2exe... Ah... maybe that's not being included in the
package!?
thanks,
-kt

I'm having a problem with py2exe for Python 2.3.

I need to control a command line program via python. I first tried popen2 and 3 but I couldn't find a way to talk to the subprocess interactively; that is, read some and then write some, and read some more again...

When I try setting the bufsize on popen on windows I get the following error: output = os.popen( "ls", 'r', 1 ) ValueError: popen() arg 3 must be -1 The same is true for popen2, popen3 and popen4. Is this a known limitation? Intentional? Are there plans to fix this? (Or at least the documentation)

After several attempts at solving this problem I thought I would ask the gurus. I wrote a python/wxPython application that calls os.popen to get information from another executable. Basically this is a cute GUI app to front end a commercial product. The app works fine when I run it as a .py or .pyw application. But after I build it to a .exe with py2exe and run it, it does not work. I put a print statement after the 1st os.popen...

Trying to work around the lack of pexpect for native windows python I had a play with os.popen2 and some threads. This looks promising enough for what I want to do, but I hit on a problem with getting the script to exit cleanly. Tried replacing popen with subprocess but I am still confused. Either it needs to be killed from the task manager, or I get a variety of different complaints and popping up "application error" windows. I managed to...
