Question

I’m running Windows XP and want to run a process and print its exit code. I don’t have a C compiler, nor do I want to use one. I do have Python though, so I figure it’s probably the easiest way to do this.

How can I write a quick python script to run a process and print its exit code?

Answer 1

never mind, found it in the subprocess module:

 import subprocess;
 retcode = subprocess.call(["ls","-l"])
