Re: [Zope] 'popen' calls not happening?

yes, but where are you returning the value of 'errors'?

The external method ends with::

return dongles, errors, success, secfeko

Oh, OK, I thought perhaps you'd forgotten to do this :-)

I've also tried without wrapping the popen3 call in a 'try', same thing (the textfile doesn't get written) ..

Well, here's some more suggestions, hopefully more useful: - you're capturing stderr from the child process but you're not returning it. If it's failing for some reason, which it appears to be doing, you won't know about it. - try running your external method from the command line - try replacing the call with something simple like 'touch' hth, seb
