My first thought was: import os os.system(insert_your_command) But looking at the documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.system) it says it is preferable to use the subprocess module with documentation here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#replacing-os-system It makes me wonder if I should go back and revisit some code I wrote as I used the os.system()approach. But was this option available in Py 2.4.4? I'll have to check. -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
