Hi,
if I understand well, you have a program producing data which usually are
stored in a file,
then you load such file into a matplotlib script.
Your goal is trasfering data from your program to matplotlib.
If this is the case you can follow two routes:
1) Modify the progam in order to print the information on standard output.
Then, through the function popen, you execute your program into
matplotlib, reading directly
the data without any external file.
2) if you cannot mpdify you program, you can execute in popen something
like:
program file.out; cat file.out.
Again, your data are on the displayed on the standard output which is
captured by popen
