Re: [orca-list] Help with orca-customizations.py fileplease

[Daniel Dalton <d dalton iinet net au>]

I just realised: I had two functions with the same name. I've fixed that,
I'm just not sure how to assign the output of a bash command to a
variable in python? Any ideas?
I can get it to say hello world though... Kinda pointless I know.
So if anyone knows how I can assign the output of a shell command to the
message variable I would appreciate it.

Thanks very much

Daniel
