psexec and os.popen help

[dennis.scales]

I'm trying to wrap a psexec command in a python script so I can capture
the results and generate an exception report. The problem I'm having is
that when I use x = os.popen("command") to do it, it runs, but the
content of x is empty. I know there should be output sent to it,
because when I run the command from the DOS prompt, it shows it. I
don't have this problem when wrapping other PSTools. Has anyone else
had this problem, or can someone try it and verify that it works, then
show me there work? I really appreciate it. Its been a late night.
Thanks

Dennis

popen3 did the trick.

popen3 did the trick.

Use the modules "subprocess" ... it solves many problems, including
the problem of too many similar functions.

These functions (execl, execv, popen, popen2, popen3, ...) are relicts
from C and very unpythonic. It's IMHO always a better programming style
to use "subprocess".
