python subprocess popen 无法打开,Python subprocess.Popen（）错误（没有这样的文件或目录）...

I am trying to count the number of lines in a file using Python functions. Within the current directory, while os.system("ls") finds the file, the command subprocess.Popen(["wc -l filename"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE) does not work.

Here is my code:

>>> import os

>>> import subprocess

>>> os.system("ls")

sorted_list.dat

0

>>> p = subprocess.Popen(["wc -l sorted_list.dat"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)File "", line 1, in

File "/Users/a200/anaconda/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 710, in __init__

errread, errwrite)

File "/Users/a200/anaconda/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1335, in _execute_child

raise child_exception

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

You should pass the arguments as a list (recommended):

subprocess.Popen(["wc", "-l", "sorted_list.dat"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

Otherwise, you need to pass shell=True if you want to use the whole "wc -l sorted_list.dat" string as a command (not recommended, can be a security hazard).

subprocess.Popen("wc -l sorted_list.dat", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
