Hello,
I have a third party shell script which updates multiple environment
values, and I want to investigate (and ultimately capture to python)
the environment state after the script has run. But running the script
as a child process only sets values for that process, which are lost
after execution. So I thought I could simply tack on an 'env' command
line to the script input lines as shown below. However, using
subprocess.Pope n gives the error shown (even though the docs say that
any file object may be used for stdin), and using popen2 hangs
indefinitely. I think I'm missing something basic, any advice? Or is
there a better approach?
(This is Python 2.4 and a Korn shell script on AIX Unix)
Thanks in advance.

First close the input so that the (sub) process
knows to terminate and flush the output. Then,
you can read from the output:
import subprocess
import popen2
p = subprocess.Pope n(["/bin/sh"], stdin=subproces s.PIPE,
stdout=subproce ss.PIPE)
p.stdin.write(" env -i FOO=BAR\n")
p.stdin.close()
status = p.wait()
ret = p.stdout.readli nes()
p.stdout.close( )
print ret
# Or
cmdout, cmdin = popen2.popen2("/bin/sh")
cmdin.write("en v -i FOO=BAR\n")
cmdin.close()
ret = cmdout.readline s()
cmdout.close
print ret

Hope this helps,

Perfect! Works a charm. Thanks for helping me out.
