"""mpwsystem -
|
|
A simple example of how to use Apple Events to implement a "system()"
|
|
call that invokes ToolServer on the command.
|
|
|
|
Contributed by Daniel Brotsky <dev@brotsky.com>.
|
|
|
|
(renamed from aesystem to mpwsystem by Jack)
|
|
|
|
system(cmd, infile = None, outfile = None, errfile = None)
|
|
|
|
1. Every call to system sets "lastStatus" and "lastOutput" to the
|
|
status and output
|
|
produced by the command when executed in ToolServer. (lastParameters
|
|
and lastAttributes
|
|
are set to the values of the AppleEvent result.)
|
|
|
|
2. system returns lastStatus unless the command result indicates a MacOS error,
|
|
in which case os.Error is raised with the errnum as associated value.
|
|
|
|
3. You can specify ToolServer-understandable pathnames for
|
|
redirection of input,
|
|
output, and error streams. By default, input is Dev:Null, output is captured
|
|
and returned to the caller, diagnostics are captured and returned to
|
|
the caller.
|
|
(There's a 64K limit to how much can be captured and returned this way.)"""
