subprocess.popen( ) executing Python script but not writing to a file

Question

I am trying to run a Python program from inside another Python program using these commands:

1. subprocess.call(self.runcmd, shell=True) ;

2. subprocess.Popen(self.runcmd, shell=True) ; and

3. self.runcmd = " python /home/john/createRecordSet.py /home/john/sampleFeature.dish "

Now the script runs fine but the file its supposed to write to is not even getting created, i'm using "w" mode for creating and writing

Answer 1

The absolute path of Python in self.runcmd should do the magic!

Try using the absolute path of file name while opening the file in write mode.
