Mike Lisanke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Isn't this a critical problem. The .poll() function serves as a means to check the status of the process started. When it continues to report 'None' to a process which has already terminated, it creates a false positive of a hung process. Dealing with recovery from an actual hung process is difficult enough. Having to deal with a bad detection that the process ran to completion on top of this, makes the use of subprocess difficult.
Maybe I'm miss applying the .poll() function. I'm trying to detect that a process has hung, prior to calling .stdout.readlines(). The readlines() will hang my python script if the process is hung. Is there another way I should be doing this?
