High Arpard,

thanx for help but I got probs with that popen3 under Win95:
'o.readlines()' doesn't return anymore. To find out I checked
it line per line:

Python 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import win32pipe
>>> i,o,e=win32pipe.popen3('ver', 'b')
>>> o.readline()
'\015\012'
>>> o.readline()
'Windows 95. [Version 4.00.1111]\015\012'
>>> o.readline()
'\015\012'
>>> o.readline()

Don't know why, but it never;-) returns.
Perhaps it may be a bug in win32pipe, that it doesn't return 
becourse readline couldn't find CarriageReturn/EOF?

I took win32pipe.popen('ver','r') for a better solution.
That works fine.

greetings,
Holger
