I did this just some days ago. It required a little bit of
experimenting. This code executes the Windows XP ftp.exe console
program (but doesn't show a console), and reads its output. Here is the
relevant code snippet:
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT
# It seems subprocess doesn't open a console by default
# when run from a windows program
#
# Plus: For whatever reason, when running as py2exe'd GUI
# program, stdin=None doesn't work. We HAVE to specify PIPE for
stdin,
# and we HAVE to use '... < NUL', and then stdin.close().
p = Popen("ftp.exe -s:upload.txt %s < NUL" % self._address,
cwd=os.path.join(util.get_main_dir(), "blah"),
shell=True,
stdin=PIPE,
stdout=PIPE,
stderr=STDOUT
)
p.stdin.close()
text = ""
while 1:
data = p.stdout.readline()
if not data:
break
<handle output data>
if p.wait():
<handle error>
return
The problem was that passing 'stdin=None' didn't work, for whatever
reason. I don't think it is a py2exe problem although the comment above
may suggest it.
Hope that helps,
Thomas
