I have a script where I launch with popen a shell command.
The problem is that the script doesn’t wait until that popen command is finished and go continues right away.
I’m working with Python 2.7 on Windows 8/XP.
I have a program with a GUI that runs an external program through a Popen call:
If this is my subprocess:
I’d like to call the “convert” utility from ImageMagick from my Python script using Popen, like so:
I am using Popen to call a shell script that is continuously writing its stdout and stderr to a log file. Is there any way to simultaneously output the log file continuously (to the screen), or alternatively, make the shell script write to both the log file and stdout at the same time?
import subprocess def my_function(x): return x + 100 output = subprocess.Popen(my_function, 1) #I would like to pass the function object and its arguments print output #desired output: 101 I have only found documentation on opening subprocesses using separate scripts. Does anyone know how to pass function objects or even an easy way to pass function … Read more
I want to call an external program from Python. I have used both Popen() and call() to do that.
I’m working on a GUI front end in Python 2.6 and usually it’s fairly simple: you use subprocess.call() or subprocess.Popen() to issue the command and wait for it to finish or react to an error. What do you do if you have a program that stops and waits for user interaction? For example, the program might stop and ask the user for an ID and password or how to handle an error?
