printing stdout in realtime from subprocess

Question

I want to print rather than catch the output from a bash command (more closer to real-time than this post). For instance, I have a script like this:

from subproc         


        

Answer 1

import subprocess
cmd = 'rsync --rsh=ssh -rv thisdir/ servername:folder/'
subprocess.call(cmd, shell=True)

(The shell=True paramater interprets the string by passing it to sh, allowing sh to split the string into tokens.)
