As it happens we use pipes to Perl to manage Kerberos accounts from
Plone: here is the core of a method that does all the work:
from popen2 import popen3
def krb_cmd(kmd, arg):
krb_out, krb_in, krb_err = popen3(kmd)
krb_in.write(arg)
krb_in.write('\n')
krb_in.close()
out = krb_out.read()
err = krb_err.read()
krb_out.close()
krb_err.close()
res = (err,out)
return res
kmd is the command I pipe to. arg is the arguments to that command.
krb_in is std_in to kmd, krb_out and krb_err are std_out and std_err to
kmd, and I wrtie to krb_in and read from krb_err and krb_out.
Finally i return the results from std_err and std_out as a tuple of strings.
hope this helps.
BTW: Anyone knows of a real, working Python-Kerberos module?
