[issue1736483] os.popen('yes | echo hello') stuck

Ilya Sandler added the comment: I don't think this is a bug in python (see below for analysis). Furthermore, os.popen() is deprecated, so I think this issue can be closed. Here is my understanding of what's happening. When you execute : python -c 'import sys, os; sys.stdout.write(os.popen(
