"""mpwsystem -
A simple example of how to use Apple Events to implement a "system()"
call that invokes ToolServer on the command.
Contributed by Daniel Brotsky <dev@brotsky.com>.
(renamed from aesystem to mpwsystem by Jack)
system(cmd, infile = None, outfile = None, errfile = None)
1. Every call to system sets "lastStatus" and "lastOutput" to the
status and output
produced by the command when executed in ToolServer. (lastParameters
and lastAttributes
are set to the values of the AppleEvent result.)
2. system returns lastStatus unless the command result indicates a MacOS error,
in which case os.Error is raised with the errnum as associated value.
3. You can specify ToolServer-understandable pathnames for
redirection of input,
output, and error streams. By default, input is Dev:Null, output is captured
and returned to the caller, diagnostics are captured and returned to
the caller.
(There's a 64K limit to how much can be captured and returned this way.)"""
