[python-win32] How to monitor the stdout/stderr of somecmd.ex e

[Tim Golden]

| I'd like to write a python program that will monitor the stdout/stderr
| of an executable (somecmd.exe) running on W2K. (simulated by 
| sometask.py
| as below) I'm trying to react to it's output *as it is happening* (eg.
| thru monitor_sometask.py) by using win32pipe, but I find that I'm only
| getting the pipe's output too long after the fact. How can I 
| monitor the
| output of somecmd.exe as it happens ? Thanks in advance.

Haven't followed this thread (so apologies if someone's suggested
this) but have you looked at Peter Astrand's Process/popen5 module:

It looks as though it will do what you want, although
I freely admit I haven't tried it myself.
