Does the popen2.popen4() used by the test provide return values of the execute command? Using os.system() instead seems to provide enough information: On Windows: Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import os >>> os.system("python < .")
