[johnny]

How do I pipe the output, generated from os.system(some_command), to
the logging file?

Use the subprocess module to run the command instead.

I am doing the os.system(encode_cmd) within a thread. So you are
saying, have each thread create a subprocess module. Did you mean,
"Popen" (os.popen)?

Like os.popen(encode_cmd) , not os.system(encode_cmd)?

Use the help file, pick the "index" tab, and type "subprocess"; then
read the only entry that pops up...

Like os.popen(encode_cmd) , not os.system(encode_cmd)?

Concept is there... You'll have to have your thread /read/ the
output from the external process, and then feed that output to the
logging module.

No, I mean the module called "subprocess" contained in the standard
Python library since version 2.4:
