Hi, I noticed, that sys.stout does not get flushed before the process is replaced. The last print statements (before execvp()) disappear.
It only happens, if the output is redirected to a file (if sys.stdout is not line buffered). """#testexec.py import os print "Messsage" os.execvp("/bin/true", ["/bin/true"]) """ ===> python tmp/testexec.py Messsage ===> python tmp/testexec.py > out ; cat out Is this a bug or feature?
