python - Can't get output from Tesseract command run through os.system -

i've created function loops on images , gets orientation image tesseract library. code looks this:

def fix_incorrect_orientation(pathname):     filename in os.listdir(pathname):         tesseractresult = str(os.system('tesseract ' + pathname + '/' + filename + ' -  -psm 0'))         print('tesseractresult: ' + tesseractresult)         regexobj = re.search('([orientation:]+[\s][0-9]{1})',tesseractresult)         if regexobj:             orientation = regexobj.groups(0)[0]             print('orientation123: ' + str(orientation))         else:             print('not getting in regex.') 

the result variable tesseractresult 0 though. in terminal following result command:

orientation: 3 orientation in degrees: 90 orientation confidence: 19.60 script: 1 script confidence: 21.33 

i've tried catching output os.system in multiple ways, such popen , subprocess without succes. seems can't catch output tesseract library. so, how should this?

thanks, yenthe

literally 10 minutes after asking question found way.. first import commands:

import commands 

and following code trick:

def fix_incorrect_orientation(pathname):     filename in os.listdir(pathname):         tesseractresult = str(commands.getstatusoutput('tesseract ' + pathname + '/' + filename + ' -  -psm 0'))         print('tesseractresult: ' + tesseractresult)         regexobj = re.search('([orientation:]+[\s][0-9]{1})',tesseractresult)         if regexobj:             orientation = regexobj.groups(0)[0]             print('orientation123: ' + str(orientation))         else:             print('not getting in regex.') 

this pass command around commands library , output caught getstatusoutput commands library.
