Greetings
I have a Grass Python script that calls an external binary using subprocess like:
p=subprocess(). Due to some limitations (memory) sometimes i get this copied into Command Output:
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it
in an unusual way.
Please contact the application’s support team for more
information.
(this is windows)
1- How can catch this error (with except but I don’t know which error to use
Thanks
Jenny

"p=subprocess(<COMMAND>)" isn't valid Python; "subprocess" is a
module.
If you use subprocess.call(), the return value is the return code of
the child process.
If you use subprocess.Popen(), the .wait() method returns the child
process' return code, which can also be retrieved from the .returncode
attribute of the Popen object.
Typically, a return code of zero indicates success while a non-zero
value indicates failure. On Unix, a negative value indicates that the
process terminated due to a signal.
Neither call() nor Popen() raise an exception if the spawned program
"fails" in some sense, only if they are unable to execute the program,
query its status, etc.

You are absolutely right. I made a mistake. I meant p=subprocess.call()
If you use subprocess.call(), the return value is the return code of
the child process.
But In this case I obtain this in Command Output window:

*and my p is 3 (don't know why because in no place of the binary there is any return 3)*
*Is it possible to get above text ("This application ..." in a variable?*
*Thanks*

If it's being written to stdout or stderr, you can capture those by
replacing subprocess.call() with:
p = subprocess.Popen(<command>, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
out, err = p.communicate()
out and err will be strings, containing the data written to stdout and
stderr respectively.
