problems with popen (linux7.3 python2.2.2)

[Byrom, R (Rob)]

thanks! I'll give this a try. I did managed to avoid the 'hang' by putting
the python script in the foreground (previously I was running the script as
a back ground process).

Try adding a "-t" to your SSH command-line; it forces it to request a 
TTY instead of being silent.  SSH tries to do "the right thing" when not 
launched from a terminal prompt.
