I'm writing a linux remastering script in python where I need to chroot into a folder, run some system commands and then come out and do some tidying up, un-mounting proc & sys etc.
I got in there with os.chroot() and I tried using that to get back out but that didn't work so... is my script trapped in there forever now or is there an un-hacky way to escape? If it is an OS restriction rather than my ignorance of python is there a canonical way of dealing with it? Should I maybe fork a process, have it do the chroot and wait for it to terminate before continuing? Apologies if this turn out to be OT!
