You're not specifying the command to Popen correctly (a very common problem). (Shameless plug: I *really* wish someone would look at my docs patch to explain this common problem -- http://bugs.python.org/issue6760) Corrected code: cmd = [p4, 'passwd', user] pipe = Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, universal_newlines=True) Though your code may have other problems too (I didn't check).
