Andrew Nissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: In reference to Dustin's entry: That's the point; the expected behavior is that subprocess should write data to the named files, without the fix, it doesn't. With the subprocess module as it stands, there are a number of cases that will not behave as the user expects. There were two issues that were being addressed:
1) If a user passes in a file descriptor that is in the range 0-2, the dup2 calls end up closing the file being passed in. 2) The other issue is the close code could end up closing file descriptors it really shouldn't. For example if p2cread == 1, the code ends up closing the fd even though it really probably shouldn't. On a side note, I should have used a list for dup_fds instead of a dictionary. It's been a while and I've not spent a huge amount of time getting back up to speed; if there are any questions let me know and I'll spend some more time on this. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1187> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
