This reminds me of when I first saw drop-box: Immediate recognition of the pain it will save me. I often hack up kludges that approximate this -- os.system calls that pipe to a file, then I read and parse the file. Good work.
- robrenaud 14y agoThe commands module is now deprecated by the overly complicated subprocess module, but content = commands.getoutput(x) is much better than os.system(x + ' > foo') content = open('foo', 'r').read()
- icebraining 14y agoThe subprocess mode is really not that complicated. Your example can be written as: content = subprocess.check_output(x, shell=True)
