[Pythonmac-SIG] Popen2

[Fran ç ois Granger]

I am trying to use popen2.popen3 and I am stuck.

I tested the command line I am building and it works ok. This may be due to
my lack of knowledge of the command line functionnalities... But this script
either hang or raise an error.

This is the bare bone script directly copied from the sample:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""r, w, e = popen2.popen3('python slave.py')
e.readlines()
r.readlines()
r.close()
e.close()
w.close()"""

import popen2

theString = file('testfiles/notes.htm').read()
source = 'macintosh'
target = 'UTF-8'
r, w, e = popen2.popen3('iconv -f ' + source.upper() + ' -t ' +
target.upper() + '//TRANSLIT')
w.write(theString)
e.readlines()
result = r.readlines()
r.close()
e.close()
w.close()
print result
pass
