Kurt B. Kaiser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: When this is running, what happens if you hit Control-c a few times, especially in the first few seconds? Does it abort with a KeyboardInterrupt? Does it stop responding to Control-c after the window fills up?
Note that IDLE slows down when very large quantities of text are printed to the shell window. This is an issue with the Tk library. The subprocess is supposed to exit when it notices that the socket has closed. This doesn't work well on Windows, unfortunately. We are thinking about it ;-) It doesn't seem that what you are attempting to fix has any realistic application. I don't run Vista. Check your resources right after you start your code. Is your system unresponsive because you are running out of memory or because you are using CPU 100%? Patient: My head hurts when I bang it against a wall. Doctor: So, don't do that! __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2584> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
