Summary: Python's os module calls can't execute commands Product: Wine Version: 0.9.47. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-msvcrt AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: mpartap@gmx.net
With the native python 2.5 and running current WINE, the python os module can not call any commands. The subprocess module works just fine. Minimal test case: create a file test.py: import os print os.popen("echo test").read() and invoke python on it. Nothing happens, while it SHOULD output test on the screen. Loading native msvcrt did not fix this. Also the wcmd.exe is somehow messed up a bit. I am going to investigate this under windows and with GIT head soon, for now reporting the bug.
