spawnv output redirection?

[j vickroy]

Hello Ben,

>From pages 325,326 of "Python Programming on Win32" by Mark Hammond and Andy
Robinson, it appears that the os.popen module or the win32pipe module may be
of use.  Here are 2 examples from the book:

import os
file = os .popen ('echo Hello from Python')
file .read()
... 'Hello from Python'

import win32pipe
file = win32pipe. popen ('echo Hello from Python')
file .read()
... 'Hello from Python\012'

According to the book, os.popen does not work correctly within a GUI
application while win32pipe.popen does.

Hope this helps.
