Very good, I have a little problem with the output of the thread, I get in unicode or I think and not let me convert it to utf-8, this is the code:
import subprocess,sys,time
string = b'dir'
process = subprocess.Popen('cmd.exe', shell=True,cwd="C:\\",stdin=subprocess.PIPE,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=None)
process.stdin.write(string)
o,e=process.communicate()
process.wait()
process.stdin.close()
print (o.encode('utf-8'))
I jump the following error:
**Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\francisco\Escritorio\k.py", line 12, in <module>
print (o.encode(utf-8))
AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'**
if I print leaving the print and if you let me:
print(o)
but it prints the following:
**b'Microsoft Windows XP [Versi\xa2n 5.1.2600]\r\n(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.\r\n\r\nC:\\>\xa8M\xa0s? '**
and if I change these two lines:
string = bytes('dir',encoding="utf-8")
print (n[0].decode("latin"))
I print only part of the output
that fails?
I've solved this way:
process.stdin.write("dir\n".encode())
o,e=process.communicate()
print (o.decode("utf-8"))
but I get error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\francisco\Escritorio\k.py", line 6, in print (o.decode("utf-8")) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa3 in position 103: invalid start byte
I just print it like this:
print (o.decode("latin"))
in latin, I can correct this error and print it in utf-8?
o
, the first return value from proc.communicate()
, is already bytes
not str
, so it is already encoded in some encoding (or you could think of it as just a sequence of bytes).
In Python3 bytes
can be decoded to str
, and str
can be encoded to bytes
, but bytes
can never be encoded, and str
can never be decoded. That is why Python3 is complaining,
AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'
