You can read the output of popen into your program with
f.read(), but that will read all of the output after the program
has run. However I think you can readline() too to catch it
line by line. You can also write() data to f thus allowing you
to send your Ctrl-C.(You may need popen2 or even popen3
to do the simultaneous read//write bit. #Or better still use
the new subprocess module in v2.4)
Does that do what you need?
