Hello, I have a piece of code that gets run in a script that has its stdout closed:
import sys sys.stdout = sys.stderr c = subprocess.Popen (..., stdin = subprocess.PIPE, stdout = subprocess.PIPE, stderr = subprocess.STDOUT) and this is what I get: Sending SVNR/permissions Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output: Traceback (most recent call last): (...) File ".../__init__.py", line 40, in run stderr = subprocess.STDOUT) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 554, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 986, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory This is the child_traceback: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 955, in _execute_child File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/os.py", line 341, in execvp File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/os.py", line 379, in _execvpe func(fullname, *argrest) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Is this a problem in subprocess (I'm using the FreeBSD port of Python-2.4 and subprocess that comes with that release) or is this expected? If my expectations are broken (likely), what should the standard descriptor massaging look like? Subversion code that runs the script can be seen at http://svn.collab.net/viewcvs/svn/trunk/subversion/libsvn_repos/hooks.c (run_hook_cmd()). -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?
