[Python-Dev] os.popen is not working

[Amit Khan]

Hi,
In one of my windows box

os.popen("ipconfig /all") is not working.

It is showing an error message like

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
WindowsError: [Errno 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label
syntax i
s incorrect: 'C:\\WINNT\\system32\\cmd.exe\\ /c dir'

I guess "\\" after "C:\\WINNT\\system32\\cmd.exe" is creating problem.

What can be reason behind it?


Warm Regards,
Amit Khan
