In python I can run some system command using os or subprocess. The problem is that I can't get the output as a string. For example:
>>> tmp = os.system("ls") file1 file2 >>> tmp 0 I have an older version of subprocess that doesn't have the function check_out, and I would prefer a solution that doesn't require to update that module since my code will run on a server I don't have full admin rights.
This problem seems trivial, yet I couldn't find a trivial solution

print() is the command you are looking for. The print() function, formally print statement in Python 2.0, can be used to output text from both the python shell and within a python module.
To capture the output of the subprocess. run method, use an additional argument named “capture_output=True”. You can individually access stdout and stderr values by using “output. stdout” and “output.
Use os.popen():
tmp = os.popen("ls").read() The newer way (> python 2.6) to do this is to use subprocess:
proc = subprocess.Popen('ls', stdout=subprocess.PIPE) tmp = proc.stdout.read() If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
