emmanuel added the comment: Kevin,
Indeed the code I submitted can be written entirely in C using pipe fork execl dup2 etc. as you suggest. The only purpose of mixing bash and C is to have a short self-contained file showing the problem. Anyway, whether in C or bash the workaround is less than satisfying in that it uses up fds 0 1 2, and I have exactly the same goal and constraints as you. Finally, thanks for identifying the limitation in the python implementation and submitting a patch. Like you I hope it will be eventually applied. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14916> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
