Just my 0.02 cents, but struggling with all warts of 2.5 subprocessing in Windows I would vote for more time for stabilizating things - not adding new features. Long awaited subprocess as replacement for os.popen() AFAIK is still incapable to asynchronously communicate with spawned processes on Windows. I would call this feature as critical even on 2.6 As a release testcase - try porting pyexpect module to this platform. Absence of native curses/console/readline module also makes Python one-way unix shell language while many users expect it to be crossplatform. -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
