New submission from René Stadler: The commit to r45234 has added an internally used keyword attribute named _deadstate to subprocess.Popen.poll, which is called by the __del__ method of this class. If you derived your own class from subprocess.Popen that overrides .poll() without taking kwargs, the __del__ method will trigger a TypeError about the unexpected keyword argument.
Attached is a very simple test program that triggers the problem. It runs just fine with Python 2.4 however. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: subprocessapi.py messages: 60024 nosy: rene.st severity: major status: open title: subprocess.Popen.poll/__del__ API breakage versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9190/subprocessapi.py __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1857> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
