coding in python using os.system ,(works on scratchbox but not on N900), Urgent pls help

[wrapster]

Hi all,

Recently for one of my apps i was using os.system() call. to execute a few shell toolkits...

But found out that everything apart from that (all the print statements) are working .. but only those with os.system fail..

I have "import os"
weird thing is that it works on scratchbox but now when put onto the phone.

Can any one please help me.. its a bit urgent as well..

if anyone can comfirm that something like this..
os.system("ls > process_output.log")
would work , it would be of really great help..

Also if there are any alternatives to using os.system. I would like to know..

Thanks...

Works for me ...

But be carefull that on device you use busybox, not all option on all commands.

Yes, "import subprocess" is recommended by the Python docs.
