New submission from Simon Lipp <keeja...@hwold.net>: >From current `os` documentation:
> A file descriptor has an “inheritable” flag which indicates if the file > descriptor can be inherited by child processes from current `subprocess` documentation: > If close_fds is true, all file descriptors except 0, 1 and 2 will be closed > before the child process is executed It would be helpful to explicitly specify that subprocess.Popen does not takes into account the inheritable flag ; thas is, that inheritable fds will still be closed with open_fds = False, and that non-inheritable fds will still be kept with open_fds = True. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 313868 nosy: docs@python, sloonz priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: subprocess: document the interaction between subprocess.Popen and os.set_inheritable versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33079> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
