That's not a command, it's a keystroke combination. And without knowing what RSConfig.exe is looking to get its keystrokes, it might not even be possible to feed it any keystrokes via the pipe. if the program does indeed use stdin, there's no portable encoding for Alt-D. But if your program only runs on one particular platform, you might be able to find docs for that platform that explain it. > > My code is > > import subprocess > rsconfig = subprocess.Popen(["C:\Program > Files\Photometrics\PVCam64\utilities\RSConfig\RSConfig.exe", > ],stdin=subprocess.PIPE) That string will only work by accident. You need to make it a raw string, or use forward slashes, or double them. As it happens, with this PARTICULAR set of directories, you won't get into trouble with Python 2.7.3 -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
