the built-in commands module will give you what you want:
http://docs.python.org/library/commands.html#commands.getoutput
however, the commands module has been deprecated in favor of the subprocess
module. i'm not sure why they can't just rewrite the commands module to use the
subprocess module, but here are some functions that fill that purpose:
from subprocess import *
def get_status_output(cmd, input=None, cwd=None, env=None):
pipe = Popen(cmd, shell=True, cwd=cwd, env=env, stdout=PIPE, stderr=STDOUT)
(output, errout) = pipe.communicate(input=input)
assert not errout
status = pipe.returncode
return (status, output)
def get_status_output_errors(cmd, input=None, cwd=None, env=None):
pipe = Popen(cmd, shell=True, cwd=cwd, env=env, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
(output, errout) = pipe.communicate(input=input)
status = pipe.returncode
return (status, output, errout)
def get_output(cmd, input=None, cwd=None, env=None):
return get_status_output()[1]
