New submission from Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de>: The subprocess module may suffer from a minor design flaw that is described at http://unixwiz.net/techtips/remap-pipe-fds.html under the heading "Descriptor Debacle". The problem can occur under rare conditions when a subprocess is created from a Python daemon process.
Proposed solution: Create a function os.duprange(*args) that takes one or more tuple pairs of file descriptors. The function takes care of the necessary order and dubbing of fds. ---------- components: Library (Lib) keywords: easy, needs review messages: 91118 nosy: christian.heimes priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Subprocess descriptor debacle type: resource usage versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6610> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
