yeah thanks! i translated as: .... import os .... CMD_STDIN, CMD_STDOUT, CMD_STDERR = \ os.popen3("*some_system_command*", "r") if not CMD_STDERR.readlines(): ... *do_something* ... for answer in CMD_STDOUT: print answer, ... *do_something_more* ... else: ... *do_something_else* ... CMD_STDIN.close() CMD_STDOUT.close() CMD_STDERR.close() .... bye max -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
