Robert Cronk <cron...@gmail.com> added the comment: I changed the script to use subprocess (attached file) and got the same rollover errors as before. I had to change cd and del to be cd.bat and del.bat which contained cd %1 and del %1 respectively since it appears subprocess can't run internal commands like cd and del (unless you specify shell = True, which I thought might defeat the purpose of the test).
I will search around for this bug to see if it's already been entered. If the python developers decide not to fix this by wrapping os.system (and I guess subprocess.Popen too) with locks to prevent this error, then I agree that it should at least be well documented. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14260/subprclg.py _______________________________________ 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
