Hi,

I'm writing some simple user helper scripts. One of it need to do for example a 'osc copypac origproject package newproject'.

I did this with a function:

def obs_copypac(org, pkg, new): cmdline = "osc copypac -e %s %s %s" % (org, pkg, new) dbg_print( "cmdline: %s" % cmdline ) p = Popen(cmdline, shell=True, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE) (stdout, stderr) = p.communicate() rc = p.returncode dbg_print( "osc copypac output: %s" % stdout ) if rc: print( osc copypac error: %s" % stderr return rc

Works as expected. Then I remembered that osc itself was written in Python as well, so it should be better to call the python stuff directly.

I looked at the osc-wrapper.py and was thinking that it should be easy to do. Simple give the commandline.Osc() call the arguments for the osc command like

osccli = commandline.Osc("copypac","-e", org, pkg, new) r = babysitter.run(osccli)

But this does not work, it seems the arguments are ignored, I get always the osc help page (same as running osc with no arguments).

What do I missing here ?

Thanks Karsten
