python - Using && in subprocess.Popen for command chaining?

I'm using subprocess.Popen with Python, and I haven't come across an elegant solution for joining commands (i.e. foobar&& bizbang) via Popen.

I could do this:

p1 = subprocess.Popen(["mmls", "WinXP.E01"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
result = p1.communicate()[0].split("
")
for line in result:
    script_log.write(line)

script_log.write("
")

p1 = subprocess.Popen(["stat", "WinXP.E01"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
result = p1.communicate()[0].split("
")
for line in result:
    script_log.write(line)

But that really isn't very aesthetically pleasing (especially if I'm daisy-chaining multiple commands via Popen.


I'd like to replicate this output in as few command blocks as possible.

Any suggestions?

Note: I'd like to avoid typing this into subprocess.Popen

p1 = subprocess.Popen(["mmls WinXP.E01 && echo -e '
' && stat WinXP.E01"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

&& is a shell operator, POpen does not use a shell by default.

If you want to use shell functionality use shell=True in your POpen call, but be aware that it is slightly slower/more memory intensive.

p1 = subprocess.Popen(["mmls", "WinXP.E01", "&&", "echo", "-e", ""
"", "&&", "stat", "WinXP.E01"],
                      stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
