It is nearly finished. To be able to write the paper a lot of existing Fri, 13 Sep 2002 14:08:53 GMT Bram Moolenaar http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/42 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/42 To try out the functionality of A-A-P I have made a port for Vim. It's really simple to use and update to the latest version.

This is the result of attempting to make a 0.1 release with useful functionality Tue, 20 Aug 2002 08:29:06 GMT Bram Moolenaar http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/40 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/40 ... Yep. Since A-A-P needs to execute compilers, linkers and other programs, this is unavoidable.

A shell command or pipeline is operating system specific also, if it can't be done with Python alone, you always have multi platform support problems.

It looks like os.spawn*() only executes one command, not a shell command or pipeline like "cat file | sed expr > tt". -- If you're sending someone Mon, 19 Aug 2002 14:31:32 GMT Steven Knight http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/37 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/37 ... os.spawn*() works fine so long as you pass os.P_WAIT as the first argument, to wait for the exit status of the command. --SK Mon, 19 Aug 2002 14:24:05 GMT Steven Knight http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/36 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/36 ... You'll need to manipulate file descriptors, either directly using os.dup()/os.fdopen() or through library methods like popen2()/popen3().

Yes, this currently only works on Unix anyway. I noticed that os.system() always uses "sh", even though "tcsh" is my default shell.

The Python documenation says os.system() doesn't return an exit value at all for MS-Windows 9x. It looks like spawn*() doesn't do the needed things Mon, 19 Aug 2002 13:40:45 GMT Bram Moolenaar http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/33 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/33 ...

Here's a solution, from Tom Christiansen's classic "Csh Programming Considered Harmful" article: Consider the pipeline: A | B | C You want to Mon, 19 Aug 2002 11:33:32 GMT Thorsten Maerz http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/31 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/31 Hi Doug, Bram, ... The 2>&1 and $? are only available at WinNT4/2K/XP, Win9x/Me doesnt offer them. The only alernative I know, is using CreateProcess() and Mon, 19 Aug 2002 11:13:05 GMT Doug Kearns http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/30 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/a-a-p-dev/message/30 ... I've only a pointer for you. Hopefully someone will have a better answer, but you should be able to make some creative use of the $? special parameter?
