check output from CalledProcessError

Question

I am using subprocess.check_output from pythons subprocess module to execute a ping command. Here is how I am doing it:

output = subprocess.check_output([\"p         


        

Answer 1

In the list of arguments, each entry must be on its own. Using

output = subprocess.check_output(["ping", "-c","2", "-W","2", "1.1.1.1"])

should fix your problem.
