New submission from Jean Brouwers <mrje...@gmail.com>: The subprocess module exposes the PIPE and STDOUT constants to be used for the stdin, stdout or stderr keyword arguments.
Often, stderr needs to be redirected to /dev/null (on posix). It would nice if another constant was available for that purpose, e.g. subprocess.DEVNULL. Perhaps, that might be as simple as DEVNULL = os.open(os.devnull, os.OS_RDWR) and re-use the same, single file descriptor. ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 86761 nosy: MrJean1 severity: normal status: open title: subprocess.DEVNULL type: feature request versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5870> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
