   execv() doesn’t return any value. You can either try using os.popen() variants for the requirement or redirect stdout to file.

   From Python Docs:
                                 execl(
                           path, arg0, arg1, ...)
                           Â 
                                 execle(
                           path, arg0, arg1, ..., env)
                           Â 
                                 execlp(
                           file, arg0, arg1, ...)
                           Â 
                                 execlpe(
                           file, arg0, arg1, ..., env)
                           Â 
                                 execv(
                           path, args)
                           Â 
                                 execve(
                           path, args, env)
                           Â 
                                 execvp(
                           file, args)
                           Â 
                                 execvpe(
                           file, args, env)
                           These functions all execute a new program, replacing the current process; they do not return.

   Thanks,

   Subject: [BangPypers] Redirecting output to a string
   
   Â 
   Hi All,
   
 I am trying to access the contents of a file in a remote machine and store the contents in string.
   
 The command,
 os.execv(ssh, [ssh, "-l", user, ip] + ['cat /tmp/temp.conf']
 works but displays the output on to the screen.
   
 I tried,
 to_be_analysed_txt = os.execv(ssh, [ssh, "-l", user, ip] + ['cat /tmp/temp.conf']
 but that does not work out.
   
 Regards,
   
 KartheeK
