How do I pass a string into subprocess.Popen (using the stdin argument)?

Question

If I do the following:

import subprocess
from cStringIO import StringIO
subprocess.Popen([\'grep\',\'f\'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stdin=StringIO(\'one\\ntwo\\         


        

Answer 1

p = Popen(['grep', 'f'], stdout=PIPE, stdin=PIPE, stderr=STDOUT)    
p.stdin.write('one\n')
time.sleep(0.5)
p.stdin.write('two\n')
time.sleep(0.5)
p.stdin.write('three\n')
time.sleep(0.5)
testresult = p.communicate()[0]
time.sleep(0.5)
print(testresult)
