[subprocess]>Run a cmd command and get output into a variable

[CSA75]

Hello All,

I'd like to run a windows cmd and get the result in a variable..it works well for a command but not for another...  

Here is :

Command "whoami" > Works !! 


import subprocess
p1=subprocess.Popen(["whoami"],stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
print(p1.communicate()[0])


Output:
b'asus\\joe\r\n'

Command "path" > Doesn't Works !!  


import subprocess
p1=subprocess.Popen(["path"],stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
print(p1.communicate()[0])


Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\Joe\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 676, in __init__
    restore_signals, start_new_session)
  File "C:\Users\Joe\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 955, in _execute_child
    startupinfo)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] [color=#545454][size=small][font=arial, sans-serif]The system cannot find the file specified[/font][/size][/color]

The command "path" is just an example, in fact I'd like to execute a more complex command but it causes python to the same error...

thanks for all :-)
