how to get output.

[Indu Shreenath]

Hey,
   
  I did write the following:
  but it does not work.
   
  import subprocess as sp
try:
       = sp.Popen("DIR . /AD /B", stdout=sp.PIPE)
    result = p.communicate()[0]
    print result           
 except:   
       print "error"
   
  This throws error.
  DIR . /AD /B will list out only directories in the current directory.
   
  Thanks,
  Indu

Using the subprocess-module.


However, I'm not sure what DIR /AD /B does - but there are many 
functions in module os that might deliver what you want without invoking 
an external command.
