Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: I thought I was un-confusing sys.std* Python objects (such as idlelib.rpc.RPCProxy) from std* integer file descriptors, whereas you seem to say they are the same: "copies of the file descriptors (in particular, sys.std*)". The rest of your message seems to imply that subprocess.check_output should not work, but it does, at least on Windows. And subprocess *is* a recommended replacement for os.system.
Roger, do you have any thoughts on this issue? ---------- nosy: +serwy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11820> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
