Capturing output from stderr

[Doru-Catalin Togea]

Hi!

On solaris, I call a program from python with

os.system("some command > outputFile.txt" )

This redirects the output of "some command"'s stdout to "outputFile.txt".
However I need to redirect or somehow capture the output from "some
command"'s stderr to this file too. How can I do that?

Thanks,
Catalin

You could do "some command >outputFile.txt 2>&1", or you could use the
commands.getoutput() or commands.getstatusoutput() methods.
