Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Feature Request Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ian Bicking (ianbicking) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: subprocess: more general (non-buffering) communication Initial Comment: Right now you can use subprocess.Popen.communicate() to make communication with subprocesses much easier and less likely to block than communicating directly with .stdin, .stdout, etc. However, that requires completely buffering the input and output. The functionality of communicate() (which is somewhat complex because of platform issues) could be made more general fairly easily. The current functionality of communicate could then be implemented in terms of that new method. I attached a function I'm using which does that for the posix systems (basically turning Popen's posix communicate into a function with some modifications). Replace "proc" with "self" (and give the function a better name) and you'd have a method. If patch 1175984 was accepted, then this wouldn't be that much of an issue: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1175984&group_id=5470&atid=305470 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2005-08-22 12:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 Also, what you post is not a 'bug', it is a 'feature request'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2005-08-22 12:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 Would an asynchronous subprocess (which you would poll manually) be better/sufficient? http://python.org/sf/1191964 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1260171&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
