Hi Guys,

I'm new to python - how to execute dos2unix from python - subprocess.popen with shell = False ?

>>> cmd = subprocess.Popen(["dos2unix","./FEED1/bin/*"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
dos2unix: converting file ./FEED1/bin/* to UNIX format ...
>>> dos2unix: problems converting file ./FEED1/bin/*

All help appreciated.

Probably with glob.glob

import glob
import subprocess
filelist = glob.glob("./FEED1/bin/*")
if filelist:
    cmd = subprocess.Popen(["dos2unix"] + filelist, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

And the same command from xterm in the script directory works?
