Winfried Plappert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: On the other hand, we will silently break all those applications which are out there relying on the fact that a pipe is an unbuffered device. You might consider it for Python 3.0, but I don't know if it is a good idea for Python 2.x. The documentation of subprocess.Popen clear states that the default is unbuffered, bufsize=0. I quote from http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html:
bufsize, if given, has the same meaning as the corresponding argument to the built-in open() function: 0 means unbuffered, 1 means line buffered, any other positive value means use a buffer of (approximately) that size. A negative bufsize means to use the system default, which usually means fully buffered. The default value for bufsize is 0 (unbuffered). _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4194> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
