however on windows it throws a string index out of range at the
sentence[0] constructs.
Well, if 0 is out of range, the string is empty; readline() returns
an empty string when it gets the EOF before any other thing. (You
learn this by reading the Python documentation).
So, your popen() call gave you an empty file...
the popen command on windows is:
ispell=os.popen("echo" +word+ "\scholarpack\ancillary\ispell\bin\ispell
-a")
...which is not a surprise, given that command. You must duplicate
back quotes inside a string, they are used as escape characters.
Again, read the Python manuals...
Maybe you should investigate the several popen variants, using echo
to construct the command is a bit crazy...
Anyone know what the difference is on the two platforms?
Surely! But this is not the problem here.
