    displaying properly formatted output of ipconfig.exe

    I'm try to display the output of ipconfig.exe to the web browser
    using:
    Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) mod_python/3.1.2b Python/2.3.2

    but when I view http://server/cgi-bin/test.py i get the following
    format of output:
    ['\r\n', 'Windows IP Configuration\r \n', '\r\n',
    etc.

    How do I get it to display the same output as if I had executed the
    program in cmd.exe?

    This is the source of test.py:

    #!C:\Python23\p ython.exe
    import os
    print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"
    cmdpipe = os.popen("ipcon fig","r")
    lines = cmdpipe.readlin es()
    print lines

      You don't want to print a list of strings, you want to print each string in
      a list....

      lines = cmdpipe.readlin es()
      - print lines
      + for line in lines:
      + print line

              OR, perhaps you want it to look right in a web page:

              #!C:\Python23\p ython.exe
              import os
              print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"
              cmdpipe = os.popen("ipcon fig","r")
              print '<html><head><t itle>ipconfig</title></head><body>'
              lines = cmdpipe.readlin es()
              for line in lines:
              print line,'<br>'
              print '</body></html>'

                  Actually, I just realized a subtle problem with using the print statement in
                  (almost) all these examples (including my own). Since the output already
                  includes newlines, and print appends a newline, you'll end up with doubled
                  newlines. Perhaps just used the write() method of the file object of
                  interest? Or, you could append a comma to all your print statements
                  (although this is bound to cause maintenance problems later).
