I have the following external method to back up a postgres database,
using the following software versions.
Zope Version
(Zope 2.9.0, python 2.4.2, win32)
Python Version
2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
System Platform
win32
Zope is running as user scholarpack who is an administrator on win
server 2008.
/
import subprocess
def backup():
try:
p=subprocess.Popen("c:/scholarpack/postgres/bin/pg_dump
scholarpack",shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
data=p.communicate()[0]
f=open('c:/scholarpack/ancillary/scholarpack.sql','w')
w=f.write(data)
f.close()
except OSError:
print "There was a problem opening the file for writing"
/When I run this through Zope I get an empty file. There are no errors
reported. However, if I use the same python that is running zope in an
interactive shell and run these commands then it works as expected.
Can anyone spot what I am obviously missing?
Regards
Garry
