*Hello.

I am relegated to running python 2.2; so I do not have access to subprocess.

In my script; at one point, I need to run a program; interact with the
program; exit the  program; and parse the output printed to stdout.

This would be simple; if I did not need to interact with my sub-program.  I
currently have..

import os
program = "vim"
arguments = ["myFile"]
pid = os.fork()
if not pid:
    os.execvp(program, (program,) + tuple(arguments))
os.wait()[0]

This works fine; lets me interact with "vim" fine; and return to the python
script when I am done; but I do not seem to be able to execute read stdout;
and all examples I have found on the net do not allow me to interact with
the called program.

Any pokes int he right direction?

Thanks,
    Chris
