Sean Reifschneider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: We've discussed this at the PyCon sprints, and here's the concensus:
os.popen inherits the parents stderr, and on Windows there is not an existing valid stderr by default. So the parent should, to be compatible with the Windows environment, create stderr or use popen2. However, popen is deprecated. The best solution would be to use subprocess module which is defined to do the right thing in this case. popen is not. Because popen is deprecated, we are going to leave this behavior and documentation as it is. ---------- nosy: +jafo priority: -> normal resolution: -> wont fix __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1366> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
