Hi Pythoneers I'm sure that somewhere in the dim and distant past this was asked, but I'll be b***ered if I can find reference to it, and google searches haven't been too illuminating yet. Anyway, how do I call bash to run a program - e.g. slocate - from within a python program. I believe that I have to import the OS first (or do I?) and I was thinking something like:
... sh slocate file_name > python_defined_list ... This is to populate a list which would then become the filename list for the remove file command to iterate through sequentially and delete, as in: for i in python_defined_list: rm -fr i How the heck do I set that kind of interaction between bash and python and the user home directory content up? Any thoughts? /j _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
