traceback (most recent call last): file "generatepcap.py", line 10, in <module> out = subprocess.popen(findcmd,stdout=subprocess.pipe) file "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__ errread, errwrite) file "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1249, in _execute_child raise child_exception oserror: [errno 2] no such file or directory
