Benno Leslie added the comment: Regarding #2 my understanding is that the FDs are already always wrapped.
E.g: at line http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/b9ac3c44a4eb/Lib/subprocess.py#l798 it shows these always being wrapped (assuming the file descriptor is not -1). For my test case on 3.2.3, replacing the os.close loop with: if p2cwrite != -1: self.stdin.close() if c2pread != -1: self.stdout.close() if errread != -1: self.stderr.close() This fixed all my stability problems and races, and can't (as far as I can tell) cause any other problems; however this is a very subtle module, so I'm eager to understand if this would cause any undesirable side-effects. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16140> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
