pre subprocess help needed

[chuck]

I need to execute a command shell process obtain the return code and
capture stdout from that shell process. I've done this with 2.4 using
subprocess. How do I do it with 2.3?

 

[Chris Lambacher]

There is a version of subprocess for 2.3.

You can also use the spawn functions in os, together with the P_WAIT
mode.

os.spawnlp(os.P_WAIT, 'ls', 'ls')

os.spawnlp(os.P_WAIT, 'spam', 'spam')
