How to hide output of subprocess

by

For python >= 3.3, Redirect the output to DEVNULL:

import os
import subprocess

retcode = subprocess.call(['echo', 'foo'], 
    stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL,
    stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

For python <3.3, including 2.7 use:

FNULL = open(os.devnull, 'w')
retcode = subprocess.call(['echo', 'foo'], 
    stdout=FNULL, 
    stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

It is effectively the same as running this shell command:

retcode = os.system("echo 'foo' &> /dev/null")
