--- Begin Message ---Package: python2.5 Version: 2.5-5 There is an obvious difference between redirecting stderr of the following example on unstable (python2.5 2.5.2-1) and current stable (python2.5 2.5-5), and I expect the correct behaviour to be just like on unstable - shown below. Short subprocess.call example: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/python2.5 import subprocess, os def main(): try: # stdout only. ret = subprocess.call(['/usr/bin/scp', '-B', 'remoteuser@remotehost:/remote/largefile', '.'], stderr=subprocess.STDOUT) except OSError, e: print 'err: %s' % e if __name__ == '__main__': main() ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Let the script be called myscript.py. No redirection on unstable and stable is the same: ./myscript.py largefile 0 0.0KB/s --:-- ETA ... and it works like expected, stdout of the subprocess -> python is printed on the terminal. The difference: Redirecting stderr on unstable: ./myscript.py 2>stderrlog largefile 0 0.0KB/s --:-- ETA Redirecting stderr on stable: ./myscript.py 2>stderrlog ... nothing! Where is python's stdout? Second try: ./myscript.py >/dev/stdout 2>stderrlog .. nothing! Where is python's stdout? Permissions are correct, stderrlog was writable in all cases. I have tried this on multiple stable installations with the above mentioned stable python2.5 package version, with the same result.

--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---This bug has been reported against an ancient version of python (2.5/3.1), that was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze). But even squeeze-lts has now reached end-of-life and is no longer supported. The bug is assumed to be fixed (or no longer relevant) in newer python releases and therefore I'm closing this report now. If the problem is still reproducible in the currently supported versions (python2.7, python3.5/python3.6), feel free to provide more information, reopen and reassign this bug report. Andreas
