Hello, I create child processes with subprocess.Popen(). Then I either wait for them to finish or kill them. Either way these processes end up as defunct until the parent process completes: $ ps e 6851 pts/5 Z+ 1:29 [python] <defunct>
This confuses another library as to whether the processes are complete. For now I detect which processes are defunct by parsing the output of "ps". What would you recommend? I am hoping there is a cleaner way. Richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
