Hello,
I am writing a small python program to automate the compilation of
another (fortran) program. In this process I need my python program to
call the "make" program.
In Perl I would do simply:
system("make PROG=Run");
And the Perl program would wait around till the system call was
finished.
Is there an equivalent system call in Python. [I have checked the
exec* familiy of commands, but they only seem to run python code -
which is not what I want in this case.]
Best regards,
Joakim Hove
