Assuming you mean the function from the subprocess package, I can't reproduce your error, since call(["data"]) works perfectly fine on my system. What are your python version, os, and stuff like that? –David Zwicker Mar 2 '12 at 10:41 1 Here are the details you asked for : Yes, call is the function in subprocess. I've made the necessary edits now above. hope the situation is clear now. –Vinayaka Mar 2 '12 at 10:49 @David Zwicker: The DOS command date exists on Windows, it displays or sets the date. –BioGeek Mar 2 '12 at 12:01 add a comment| 4 Answ
