Richard Oudkerk <shibt...@gmail.com> added the comment: I think the note for communicate() just means that you might get MemoryError (or some other exception) if the output is too big. But I agree it is ambiguous.
communicate() uses select() on Unix and threads on Windows, so deadlocks should not be possible. > So, what should I use? Use communicate() (on a machine with infinite memory;-) ---------- nosy: +sbt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14872> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
