New submission from Luís Pedro Coelho: from os import *
def Fork(): b = fork() if b < 0: raise Exception('fork() failed') return b r,w=pipe() b = Fork() if b == 0: dup2(w,1) close(w) execlp('echo',\ 'echo',\ 'Hello world') else: for line in fdopen(r): print 'Read %s' % line I was expecting this code to print "Read Hello World". Instead, it hangs forever. Changing "for line in fdopen(r): print 'Read %s' % line" to "line=read(r,100); print 'Read %s' % line" makes the program work as expected. This is what I did on my actual production code, but it seems funny behaviour on the part of fdopen. I am running on Ubuntu on PowerPC. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 55829 nosy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] severity: normal status: open title: fdopen does not work as expected type: behavior versions: Python 2.3, Python 2.4, Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1149> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
