Depends what the meaning of the words "in Python" is... :^)

You could write an External Method in Python:

import os some_script_output = os.popen("some_script.pl",'r').readlines()

some_script_output is then a list of lines of output. In this example some_script.pl is in perl.

If you weren't interested in the output (i.e., you just wanted to run something), you could (I think) use:

import os os.system("some_script.pl") Well, that's dangerous. I'd much more prefer: os.system("some_script.pl >/dev/null 2>/dev/null")

At least in the Bobo version, pcgi was VERY sensitive about things getting written to stdout/stderr. Andreas -- Andreas Kostyrka | andreas@mtg.co.at phone: +43/1/7070750 | phone: +43/676/4091256 MTG Handelsges.m.b.H. | fax: +43/1/7065299 Raiffeisenstr. 16/9 | 2320 Zwoelfaxing AUSTRIA
