OK, this is what I suspected I needed. So no explicit signal catching is required I guess. I will look into it, thanks. Bahadir -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Terminating python script easily
Hi, I have a python build script that calls various commands, some using os.system(). Often, if I want to terminate the script prematurely, I press ctrl-c, but I have to do this many times before I can kill the script for good. I was wondering is there a way that I define a signal handler and kill the whole thing at once with a single ctrl-c? Perhaps I should also call my other scripts with a method other than os.system () as well? Thank you, Bahadir -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
how do I pipe two processes?
Hi, I want to pipe output of process A to B, and read output of B from
python. On Unix if I do the following:
child_out, child_in = popen2("program_a | program_b")
line = child_out.readline()
I get "IOError: bad file descriptor" from Python, and broken pipe
error from program_b. How do I do this right?
Thanks,
Bahadir

testing C code with python
Hi, A simple question - Is it common/good practice to test C code using Python? For example one could wrap individual C functions, and test each of them using python, maybe not for low-level things but at least for algorithmic correctness. Anyone effectively doing this as common practice? Thanks, Bahadir -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
