title: How to convert subprocess.popen.object to normal string in python 2.5?
body: <p>I am executing below code which is working fine but the ouput it gives is as "subprocess.Popen object at 0x206"</p>
  
  <pre><code>import sys
  from subprocess import Popen 
  var1= "I am testing"
  Process=Popen('/home/tester/Desktop/test.sh %s' % (str(var1),), shell=True)
  print Process
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>returns: <code>subprocess.Popen object at 0x206</code></p>
  
  <p>Also test.sh just echos given variable all it's having is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/bin/bash 
  echo $1 
  echo $2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I cannot upgrade my application python version from 2.5 hence not able to use the current subprocess features such as check_ouput, I am looking for an solution by which I can convert the given output into normal string? </p>
