Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Eric (cpegeric) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: os.popen('yes | echo hello') stuck Initial Comment: after calling os.popen('yes | echo hello'), the process never returns. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Eric (cpegeric) Date: 2007-06-14 02:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1595194 Originator: YES sorry for the misunderstanding. Here is the result. % yes | echo hello hello % echo $? 0 % ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ilguiz Latypov (ilgiz) Date: 2007-06-14 02:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=281701 Originator: NO I've realized my suggestion was not precise. I meant asking to run the argument to popen() rather than popen(). That is, I would run this from command line to see if there is an issue with the shell: $ yes | echo hello ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Eric (cpegeric) Date: 2007-06-14 01:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1595194 Originator: YES command line also get stuck. The OS is MacOSX. Python version 2.3.5. Will it help update to new version?

KeyboardInterrupt % python -c 'import sys, os; sys.stdout.write(os.popen3("yes | echo hello")[1].read())' ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ?

I am guessing "yes" will write an error message about the broken pipe to stderr. $ python -c 'import sys, os; sys.stdout.write(os.popen("yes | echo hello").read())' yes: standard output: Broken pipe yes: write error hello $ python -c 'import sys, os; sys.stdout.write(os.popen3("yes | echo hello")[1].read())' hello ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1736483&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
