<python-list@python.org> Hello everybody, I have a question about the way I use os.popen. I am open to other alternative suggestions like using subprocess or communicate.
I have an executable (say read_cell_types.exe) that produces string outputs. For example, after one execution I got the following outputs in one line: Neurons Microglia Astrocytes In another execution, there might be different numbers of strings. What I would like to do is to get these strings after running read_cell_types.exe from my python program dynamically and construct radio buttons from the list of strings. In order to do this I need to construct a list of strings first as in ["Neurons" "Microglia" "Astrocytes"] Then it is easy to construct the radio buttons. When I use the following code command = "read_cell_types " + fileName2 child = os.popen(command) data = child.read() allObjects=data allObjects (or data) contains the letters of all string words. I think it is probably like ["N" "e" "u" "r" ...] How can I construct ["Neurons" "Microglia" "Astrocytes"] instead? I will really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot. PS: fileName2 is a parameter that I am passing to read_cell_types.exe Aytekin -- My web page: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~vargua
