Sajjad, I do not think you need a script for this. The mount command is very easy to use. But since you made it anyway, here are my thoughts:
1. Use zenity or sth like that to provide GUI file and directory selection to users. 2. ALWAYS use double quotes around filenames when passing them as arguments to a command. 3. Its always better to make it a pre-requisite that the script is run with root permissions than to ask for the root password in the script. In any case, NEVER use raw_input to accept passwords from the user. You DO NOT want the password to be echoed. Use getpass.getpass (prompt_string). Here's my code: http://pastebin.ca/1537318 Regards, Nikhil On Aug 20, 10:30 pm, Sajjad Anwar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all, > > Just wrote a simple script in python to mount any iso image to any required > location. > > Inspiration: > > My friends have been finding it difficult to mount iso's. they asked whether > it could be made more easy. guess this went fine. > > Inputs: > > 1.
