[Tutor] Output of os.system("c:\myprog.exe") "piped" to a pyt hon object ?

[Doug Stanfield]

Hi,

You don't indicate what platform you are running on.  The answer is =
somewhat
palatform dependant, but what you are looking for is popen() for "pipe
open".  If you are on a Unix system it and its cousins, popen2() and
popen3() work reliably.  On Windows there is a solution in the win32all
extensions by Mark Hammond.  I don't have any experience with it, but =
know
that it is named similarly.

Good luck,

-Doug-

If you need it and don't have it win32all is available from:
