I am trying to replace os.system calls with subprocess.Popen. This simple
example fails miserably:
>>> proc = subprocess.Popen ("ls /tmp")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/titan/skipm/local/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 594, in
__init__
errread, errwrite)
File "/home/titan/skipm/local/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1091, in
_execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I also tried explicitly referencing /usr/bin/ls. Same result. What gives?
I see this behavior in both Python 2.4 and 2.5 on Solaris 10 and with
2.6alpha on Mac OS X.
Frustrated in Chicago...
