Created page with '== Backquotes == <source lang="python"> output = `dmesg | grep hda` </source> == os.popen == <source lang="python"> import os cmd = "medcon -f %s" % fileName output = os.popen(c…'

New page

== Backquotes ==
<source lang="python">
output = `dmesg | grep hda`
</source>

== os.popen ==
<source lang="python">
import os
cmd = "medcon -f %s" % fileName
output = os.popen(cmd)
for line in output:
#do something with line
</source>

== subprocess module (Python 2.4+) ==
<source lang="python">
from subprocess import *
cmd = "medcon -f %s" % fileName
output = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=512, stdout=PIPE).stdout
for line in output:
#do something with line
</source>

== The os.shutil module ==
Used for copying, moving, and deleting files and directories:
<source lang="python">
os.listdir(path)
