Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: dtrosset (dtrosset) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: os.popen with os.close gives error message Initial Comment: Given the following code: import os child_stdin = os.popen("cat -", "w") old_stdout = os.dup(1) os.close(child_stdin.fileno()) print "foo" os.dup2(old_stdout, 1) os.close(old_stdout) I got these different results depending on the version of python I am using. $ python2.4 -V Python 2.4.4c0 $ python2.4 test.py foo close failed: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor $ python2.3 -V Python 2.3.5 $ python2.3 test/new/test.py foo My .02$ guess is that underlying file descriptor of child_stdin being closed, when trying to delete this object, it tries again to close it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1574310&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
