I can then be a bug in the os. I'll try to look deeper into it. Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2007-02-25 23:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Originator: NO Note that on some versions of Linux 2.4, calling wait() can return ECHILD even when there is a child. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2007-02-13 16:57 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Originator: NO What operating system are you using? Why do you think this is a bug in Python and not in your operating system? Are you sure there are any unwaited-for children when ECHILD is returned? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1658959&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
