STINNER Victor added the comment: Ok, the new asyncio.subprocess module has been merged.
Use asyncio.create_subprocess_exec/shell to create a subprocess and then use asyncio.wait_for(proc.wait(), timeout) to wait for the exit of the process with a timeout. The wait is asynchronous thanks to asyncio internals. I close the issue. I consider it fixed with the asyncio option. As I wrote, I don't think that it's possible to fix it in subprocess in a portable way without breaking backward compatibility. asyncio is new and so there is no risk of breaking the backward compatibility. ---------- resolution: -> fixed status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12187> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
