Ross Lagerwall <rosslagerw...@gmail.com> added the comment: I think if you look closely at the patch, the fd does not stay open the whole time. It is opened if necessary in _get_handles() with e.g.:
elif stdin == DEVNULL: p2cread = self._get_devnull() and then closed in _execute_child() with: if hasattr(self, '_devnull'): os.close(self._devnull) which is executed from __init__(). So I don't think it stays open for eternity :-) ---------- _______________________________________ 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
