I am wrapping a Python wrapper script to "wc -l" (count lines) of a
list of IP addresses
*******************************************
import subprocess
IPcount = subprocess.call(['wc -l file.txt | awk \'{print $1}\''], shell=True)
print "You have",IPcount,"IP addresses that are alive."
*******************************************
I get the following output
*******************************************
46
You have 0 IP addresses that are alive.
*******************************************
Why does IPcount not equal 46? Is this what the stout is for?
