There's a DOS console application I am trying to script (in Python), but it
doesn't seem to use stdout or stderr... For example, if I redirect output
to a file ("cmd > file.txt"), the output still appears on screen.
Similarly, the output pipes returned by popen* don't catch the app's
output. How might this app be generating its output? Any thoughts on how it
could be captured (perhaps with something in the win32 extensions)?
Thanks,
Greg.
