Which is why the Cookbook recipe I pointed to in my other message appears to be a superior alternative. Its author works around this problem by subclassing Popen to use non blocking I/O. I used it to drive ClearCase's cleartool interactive tool and it works very well. The only problem I encountered is that it doesn't mix well with framework that have their own event loop (wxPython in my case), but you can't really expect that to work.
