Charles-François Natali added the comment: > By the way, the existing code in subprocess.Popen (at least on 2.6.7) reads > the pipe incorrectly: It doesn't loop to read all the data until EOF -- it > only loops over EINTR until it gets a single successful os.read() call. > However, since this is a pipe read (not a real file read), the system doesn't > guarantee that the blocking read will read everything up to requested read > size or EOF, whichever comes first.
