Raphael Gaschignard added the comment: I'm sorry for the confusion here, it turns out I was misinterpreting the results of my program and my workaround was not working. Like others have said, the subprocess code seems to rely on the existence of file descriptors
I would be pretty partial to the idea of having the subprocess's internal code catch OSError and raise a clearer error message like "subprocess can only operate on files with file descriptor support". Having "complete" file object support would seem like a major win, but looking at the internals/OS support it seems like a hard thing to set up. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29989> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
