Access stdout from external program.

[Paul Lemelle]

JM,

Thanks for the response.  

I am trying to capture the stdout of a program from another program. Example, I want to launch the below program from a second python script then capture the first's program stdout to a file or variable. 

Is this possible?

Thanks again,
Paul

Hi Paul, after reading 4 times your post, I still don't see what you
want to achieve.
What are you calling a variable ? an os variable ?

import sys

file = open('testfile.txt', 'w')
file.write(str(sys.argv))
file.close()

second hit when googling your question:
