New submission from Joel Rosdahl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The optimization in SVN rev 38556 seems to have changed Popen.communicate's behavior when stdout is subprocess.PIPE (and maybe for other cases as well).
See the attached file. In Python 2.4.5, all three counts are the same. In Python 2.5.2, the middle count has increased by 1. In other words: A file descriptor is leaked until the last reference to the Popen instance is dropped. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: subprocess-fd-problem.py messages: 66415 nosy: jrosdahl severity: normal status: open title: subprocess.py leaks fd in communicate type: resource usage versions: Python 2.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10221/subprocess-fd-problem.py __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2791> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
