Hi All,
I'm trying to do the following:
import os
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
os.chroot("/tmp/my_chroot")
p = Popen("/bin/date", stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
stdout_val, stderr_val = p.communicate()
print stdout_val
but the Popen call is dying with the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 7, in <module>
p = Popen("/bin/date", stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
File "/home/erik/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__
File "/home/erik/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1224, in _execute_child
File "/home/erik/lib/python2.7/pickle.py", line 1382, in loads
File "/home/erik/lib/python2.7/pickle.py", line 858, in load
File "/home/erik/lib/python2.7/pickle.py", line 971, in load_string
LookupError: unknown encoding: string-escape
Am I missing something here? does the chroot environment need to be populated
with more than just the date executable in this case? I can't seem to find any
examples of this & would appreciate any insight.
Thanks,
Erik.
