I want to be able to run a program in a python script, and capture it's output in a variable. I figured out that I can execute it with os.system(), but how do I capture it's output and store it in a variable?
View 1 RepliesI need to execute an external command with Python from Web. I know there is subprocess module that executes external programs but I'm trying to execute a command registered for the execution of a program. In this case when I execute my file in the shell everything is Ok, but from the Web it doesn't work.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how to continue execution of a Python program while a background task is going on.
In bash, it is adding "&" to the end as in:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
find / -iname "*.py" > /tmp/all_pys &
echo "looking for all python scripts and putting them in /tmp/all_pys"
(yes, I know I could just put the echo BEFORE the find but I just use it for example)
Say I do that in python (not necessarily running the shell, but perhaps using scriptutil.ffind or something similar), but want to allow the user to be doing something else while running that search in the background, how would I thread, fork, subprocess (not to be confused with the module and Popen) [or whatever I should call it] that?
If i have a python file with a function call_me(a,b),how can I call this function from the command line ,after i compile the program?

It success, but Application A cannot continue its own tasks before Application B exit. I want Application A to execute Application B, but Application A can continue its tasks without waiting for Application B to exit.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe situation is that I have an MPI-parallel fortran program. I run it and it's distributed on N processors, and each of these processes must call an external program.
This external program is also an MPI program, however I want to run it in serial, on the processor that is calling it, as if it were part of the fortran program. The fortran program waits until the external program has completed, and then continues.
The problem is that this external program seems to run on any processor, and not necessarily the (now idle) processor that called it.
how I can call the program and ensure it runs only on this processor?
Extra information that might be helpful:
If I simply run the external program from the command line (ie, type "/path/myprogram.ex <enter>"), it runs fine. If I run it within the fortran program by calling it via
CALL SYSTEM("/path/myprogram.ex")
it doesn't run at all (doesn't even start) and everything crashes. I don't know why this is.
If I call it using mpiexec:
CALL SYSTEM("mpiexec -n 1 /path/myprogram.ex")
then it does work, but I get the problem that it can go on any node.
I am just asking how this works in general. I know Python can wrap a C code, but here it seems Python is already integrated with this C program.Would it be correct to say one would have to understand the C code in addition to py programming in order to accomplish anything useful here?I need to control the program, and especially import its output to some algorithm that accomplishes command and control in the way of bash scripts or whatever.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to know how to make a program use a version of python older than the newest one. I am trying to run the Traipse fork of OpenRPG. Through their forums, I have learned that one of my problems is that I am running too new a version of python. I have python 2.7.1 installed.
I also have python2.6.6 installed, so I should be able to use that. My first thought was to uninstall 2.7.1 and just use the older version. The problem is that if i uninstall 2.7.1, it wants to also uninstall all the packages dependent on that program. Let's face it, in Natty Narwhal, that is pretty much everything.
Do you know how to force Traipse make it use the 2.6 version?

I have a python script I wrote a while ago and now I would like to call that script from inside C. I know how to do one command from C, but how would you execute an entire script from C, and passing arguments? Like:
Code:
int main(void)
{
python( myprogram(1 2 3) );
}
So I can pass arguments to my script.
what the equivalent function in Python 3.1.1 is for Python 2.6.4s:
Py_FindMethod
Be buggered if I can find anything in the doco to say what replaced it or what alternative code may need to be entered to replace it
I have decided to learn python as it seems to be powerful not just for web development (like php) but also a clean powerful language for other puposes.

I have a bash script that I want to import in to Python, mainly just to see if I can or not. However in the script I do use some piping of commands into sed to trim it down to what I need. When I tried doing it with the os.system() call, it didn't work. The exact error is
sed: -e expression #1, char 16: unterminated `s' command
However the command that was run can be run in bash without an error. Is there a better/another way to do this? For reference the command is:
Code:
locate -n 1 wp-config.php | sed 's/wp-config.php/
/g' | sed '/wp-config.php/ d' | sed '/^$/ d'
