Problem executing script using Python and subprocces.call yet works in Bash
- by Antoine Benkemoun
Hello,
For the first time, I am asking a little bit of help over here as I am more of a ServerFault person.
I am doing some scripting in Python and I've been loving the language so far yet I have this little problem which is keeping my script from working.
Here is the code line in question :
subprocess.call('xen-create-image --hostname '+nom+' --memory '+memory+' --partitions=/root/scripts/part.tmp --ip '+ip+' --netmask '+netmask+' --gateway '+gateway+' --passwd',shell=True)
I have tried the same thing with os.popen. All the variables are correctly set.
When I execute the command in question in my regular Linux shell, it works perfectly fine but when I execute it using my Python scripts, I get bizarre errors. I even replaced subprocess.call() by the print function to make sure I am using the exact output of the command.
I went looking into environment variables of my shell but they are pretty much the same... I'll post the error I am getting but I'm not sure it's relevant to my problem.
Use of uninitialized value $lines[0] in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Config/IniFiles.pm line 614.
Use of uninitialized value $_ in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl5/Config/IniFiles.pm line 628.
I am not a Python expert so I'm most likely missing something here.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Antoine
