cgi subprocess, cannot get output

[Jakub Piotr Nowak]

Hello,

In the following cgi program, I cannot get subprocess output.
I print the header, flush stdout to prepare it to new content,
but variable 'o' is always empty.

Could somebody help me with that?

def main():
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
sys.stdout.flush()

if form.has_key('sentence'):
input = form['sentence'].value

o = Popen(['./tinki', input], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0]
result = cgi.escape(o)

results['xmlfile'] = result
results['sentence'] = input

content['output'] = (output % results)
print template % content
Best regards,

What kind of script is tinki? I had a bitch of a problem like this with
perl and ended up just writing to a file. No idea why I couldn't get the
stdout.

Tinki is a natural language parser. It takes a sentence as a
command line argument and prints xml file to stdout.

Thanks for the hint, I will try...
