popen2 psql

Hello,

maybe my question is about linux and not about python.

I tried to write a proxy script for "psql" command. I need some query
log. I failed to read from the file object.

I have tested:

a,b = os.popen2('ls')
for s in b.readlines(): print s,

and:

a,b = os.popen2('./pto.py')
for s in b.readlines(): print s,

popen2 works with 'ls' but it doesn't output anything with the './pto.py'.
The 'pto.py' is an existing python script and contains some print.

Likely I have the same problem with popening the python script and the
psql binary. I can simple popen('psql').w rite(), but I would like to log
everything, so I need stdin and stdout files.

Please help.

The psql command is probably linked against readline; did you look
in the ~/.psql_history file?

Cheers,

Thank you. I will check but what about the python scripts? Why can't I
read their *print* output with popen2?

Hi I was given an exstremly useful answer to a problem that I had in windows. I'm relativly new with python, but find it exstremly useful. I'm creating a script to run test files and record output, the script already works on win32 and I've made a telnet procedure which works quite well when you want to do the testing on one of the many unix boxes (but its very slow). What I want to do now is run the script on a unix system, and later...

OK, I've got a weird one I haven't been able to figure out yet. Admittedly I haven't had time to dig into the library source, but this behavior certainly doesn't seem right. Here's a test case: """Test program to demonstrate problem with popen2 module.""" import popen2 def main (argv): mycmd = 'python2.3 -c "for i in range(100000):\n print i"' p = popen2.Popen3(mycmd)

This could possibly be a bug, but I don't understand it fully so I'm posting here first. Searching the list told me other people are having this problem too. I have created a class which inherits popen2.Popen3. The problem is that popen2.Popen3 does not define a __del__ method to handle proper closing of the pipes or destruction of the process. So I created one in my class:

I've written a couple of apps that required running a command and grabbing the output, and I've found the existing interfaces problematic for this. I think the proliferation of functions and classes in the popen2 module illustrates the problem (popen2.{popen2,popen3,popen4,Popen3,Popen4}) Now if I want to read both stdout and stderr seperately then it's awkward to say the least to implement that without deadlocking using

I'm trying to read standard out in a process started with popen2 in a non-blocking way. (Other good ways of doing this than the one I tried are appreciated.) I've tried to dumb down my code to see what happens, and socket.poll seems to behave very strangely. I've tried to use the .poll method for the poll object with and without a timeout, but in either case, the output randomly switches between on of the versions below. It runs fast,...

How do I automatically redirect stdout and stderr when using os.popen2 to start a long running process. If the process prints a lot of stuff to stdout it will eventually stop because it runs out of buffer space. Once I start reading the stdout file returned by os.popen2 then the process resumes. I know that I could just specify > /dev/null when starting the process but I'd like to know if there is a way to start a process using os.popen2...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
