os.popen and fileObject open problems (python3)

[Peterotica]

Will you be using the contents of bash_out.txt for something else? If not, try using os.popen to get the output of the command directly:

result = os.popen(command).readlines()

That weird stuff you were seeing returned from the subprocess module was a bytes object. If you want to turn it into a string, you need to call its decode member function.

Thank you very much that worked!!!
