The reason is very specific for subprocess.py... after creating the FDs, it forks(), and the behaviour of when closing which descriptors are different for the parent and child processes. If I take Christian approach, the test just hangs. One drawback of the "with" usage is that it closes both FDs at the same time... and in this case this may be a problem, as they're used and closed by different processes in different times... don't know. I also tried the approach of wrapping the FDs with a file object... this *almost* work... but in the case of a problem in the child process, when a traceback should be written through the pipe to the parent, nothing happens (it seems that the GC just closes the object and the info is not transferred). So, I'll stick to the code I submitted to the bug, because even if it's ugly it works. -- .
