You don't want to print a list of strings, you want to print each
string ina list....
lines = cmdpipe.readlines()
- print lines
+ for line in lines:
+ print line

OR perhaps you want simply to print the output:
- lines = cmdpipe.readlines()
- for line in lines:
- print line
+ print cmdpipe.read()
OR, perhaps you want it to look right in a web page:
#!C:\Python23\python.exe
import os
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"
cmdpipe = os.popen("ipconfig","r")
print '<html><head><title>ipconfig</title></head><body>'
lines = cmdpipe.readlines()
for line in lines:
print line,'<br>'
print '</body></html>'
Actually, I just realized a subtle problem with using the print statement in
(almost) all these examples (including my own). Since the output already
includes newlines, and print appends a newline, you'll end up with doubled
newlines. Perhaps just used the write() method of the file object of
interest? Or, you could append a comma to all your print statements
(although this is bound to cause maintenance problems later).
