Hi all, (I am sure there is a recipe somewhere, but I can't find it.) How does one open an editor while in the middle of an interactive program, let the user do some editing and closing, and then capture the text that was edited? I am reminded of subversion or CVS when they open an $EDITOR session for the check-in log entry.
I tried os.popen, but it fired off vim in the background--not useful. Then I tried os.system, but that only returns the return code (126 in my case) after you close the editor. Perhaps I need to write to a file and read it--shouldn't there be a cleaner way? Thanks W -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
