How about using a pipe for stdin? This seems to work: import sys from subprocess import Popen, PIPE fishes = "one fish\ntwo fish\nred fish\nblue fish\n" proc1 = Popen(['cat'], stdin=PIPE, stdout=sys.stdout, stderr=sys.stderr) proc1.stdin.write(fishes) proc1.stdin.close() Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
