Subject: python2.4: Wrong exist status for os.system, os.poepen, etc.
Package: python2.4
Version: 2.4.4-2
Severity: normal



-- System Information:
Debian Release: 4.0
 APT prefers testing
 APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (70, 'stable'), (60, 'unstable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell:  /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-k7
Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)

I send this to python-list also, so someone can tell if he/she can
(not) reproduce
the same behavior

The os.system() (but all the other funciont with similar behavior) reports
wrong exit status. I can reproduce the bug in the following way

create /tmp/x.c:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void){
       exit(20);
}

$ cd /tmp
$ make x

$./x
$echo $?
20

$ python

give the following commands:

import os
os.system("/tmp/x")
5120

the same for

x=os.popen("/tmp/x")
x.read()
''
x.close()
5120


Greetings

Sorry, it was my mistake

the format of returned value is the one specified for os.wait()
