Your script is simple but does nothing useful.
It calls popen with a command line(which is the one I assume you
used at the command line?) and stores the pipe returned by popen
in arg. It then exits the function which deletes arg and therefore
the pipe and its connection.
At no point do you try to read the output from your commandline,
nor do you return anything to the outer part of your script. And of
course we have no idea what sql.py does inside, so I'll just assume
it works as intended for now
What did you think this would do?
