are you sure you're using os.popen correctly?
you don't appear to be waiting for the pg_dump process to finish.
Right, the popen stuff should be something like:
p = os.popen("c:/scholarpack/postgres/bin/pg_dump scholarpack > c:/
scholarpack/ancillary/scholarpack.sql 2> c:/scholarpack/ancillary/
dump.err")
status = p.close()
Then check status to see if the command was successful or not.
