Anyway, I'd like a hint as to how I could convert this:
ifcfg_lines = os.popen("/sbin/ifconfig fxp0").readlines()
x = string.split(ifcfg_lines[3])[1]
to the subprocess module. The os module is going away, right?
The os module is not going away although the popen
function might some day.
However subprocess is currently the recommended way
to do subprocess control and is more powerful and flexible
than popen.
Did you see the subprocess documentation page that
shows how to do the equivalent of popen etc?
Look down to section 18.1.3.5
