I'm preparing a script which will launch an external program (a JAR), process the XML file that results, tar the files output from the processed XML, and FTP the tarball to a remote location.
The middle and the end are just fine, but running the external program and tarring the results have me hung up.
I see system, popen and tarfile available in the modules list, but not on the Mac version.
I need to be able to give the external (JAR) command line arguments based on the system clock.
I could adapt a Perl script that currently does this task, but where would be the fun in that?
I'm running OS X.3.7 and Python 2.3.
Python 2.3 on OS X definitely has everything that you say it doesn't. What is this "modules list" you're referring to?

Apparently, just sending the question caused a few lightbulbs to go off in my head.
I've been launching Python scripts from the GUI by double clicking. That was pointed at the Python Interpreter in Applications/Python 2.2 NOT PythonLauncher (2.3).
Once I straightened that out, I can now tar and (I assume) launch scripts. I'll run some more tests today and should be out of the woods by sunset.
Thanks for being there, Bob.
