Python Interactive Shell - outputting to stdout?

[Avi Berkovich]

Hello,

I was unable to use popen2.popen4 to grab python.exe's (2.3) output, for 
starts, it doesn't show the version information at the beginning and 
won't return anything when writing to the stdin pipe, it seems that if I 
give it some error nous expression, the pipe would return the exception 
data, though nothing else comes through.

A friend of mine also tried this using win32api on delphi, and got the 
same result.

I also tried "python.exe > data.txt" and was amazed to find out that it 
won't redirect the output to the file.

So, may someone please shed some light over this?

Avi.
