Fun!
testo = [line for line in commands.getoutput('ls -la').split('\n')]
for line in testo:
print line
spits out nicely formatted ls data.
It's Shelly!

Subject: Re: [Tutor] Popen? or something else
You may use the 'commands' module, if your subprocess should return
right away, then you can use:
##
import commands
mystring = commands.getoutput("dtg")
##
then mystring should have "2004122212" (and possibly '\n', but you'll
have to check that out, not sure about your command)in it...
Hope it helps, it sure is quicker than popen (I only use popen if I need
to keep reading the output, for a one-time capture, I personally prefer
the "commands" module...)

Roger,
I have been doing it the Pythonic way (that is why I have no idea about
how
Popen works) but I need to make sure (the systems guys called me on it) I
use the same dtg as everyone else...it is possible (has not happened yet
in
20 years) it could be set to something else.
