At [http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
devel/browse_thread/thread/c008a74ae2b3af95 sage-devel], I reported the
following problem.
- Take a folder with many uncommitted changes in a Mercurial repository.
[http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/SimonKing/Cohomology/p_group_cohomology-2.1.alpha0.tar.gz&usg
=AFQjCNE362g2kL77GzI-7T5RaOBx92X0KQ Example].
- Run {{{sage -pkg}}} on it.
- It will hang forever while it is attempted to read from {{{stderr}}} of
a subprocess.
Mitesh Patel pointed to the solution: One should use {{{communicate}}}
rather than stdout/stdin/stderr!
I don't know how to doctest the issue; but I have a patch that solves the
problem.
