How to hide output of subprocess in Python 2.7

Question

I\'m using eSpeak on Ubuntu and have a Python 2.7 script that prints and speaks a message:

import subprocess
text = \'Hello World.\'
print text
subprocess.ca         


        

Answer 1

Why not use commands.getoutput() instead?

import commands

text = "Mario Balotelli" 
output = 'espeak "%s"' % text
print text
a = commands.getoutput(output)
