using python subprocess's call function, but not getting output file [duplicate]

Question

I'm using python subprocess library to run command line in python file. After importing the library, I used following code to store the output

call(["python", "make.py", ">", "data"])

But for some reason, I didn't get data file

I would say this answer is closer to what he wants: stackoverflow.com/a/3982683/2073595. Still, definitely a dupe. — dano

You have to modify the stdout , check the official document subprocess

    import subprocess
    my_output_file = open("/home/user/output", "a")
    subprocess.call(["python", "hello.py"],stdout=my_output_file)
    my_output_file.close()
