Hi people, I am having difficulty spawning processes with the os.P_NOWAIT and the waitpid function in the os module. What I simply want to do is to launch another process along with immediately getting its exit status in a cross-platform supported way. However the exit status is actually shifted 8 bits left on Win32 and when manually shifting it back, I always get 1 as the exit status although the process has obviously been started successfully.
As we do not wish to use extra packages and modules, we need to have some way to do this very common task *without* win32all package - which as I know would have functions for properly launching processes on Windows - and just with the Python Standard library. Anyone with experiences on this field? I can't believe that there is no cookbook code snippet for this very commonly found task and that Python seems to lack crossplatform-power at this point. -- Best Regards Christian Junker _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
