Robert Cronk <cron...@gmail.com> added the comment: I turned off anti-virus again as well as file indexing and google desktop too and still got the errors when I disabled the locks around the os.system() calls.
Vinay - when the locks aren't around the os.system() calls, do you get the rotating log errors? I'm still confused at how the os.system calls could be affecting the logging at all. The os.system calls aren't touching the log files. Why would it cause them to fail when the os.system calls fail? It seems that when the os.system calls succeed (because of the locks) then the logging succeeds but when the os.system calls fail (because the locks are disabled), then logging fails. If, as you suggest, this is a race condition that is being exposed by the os.system calls failing because they don't have locks around them, then that would be the perfect situation (if you can reproduce it) to debug it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4749> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
