Federico Simoncelli <fsimo...@redhat.com> added the comment: I agree they are orthogonal. The problem is that Popen.communicate doesn't support a way to ignore the exception and keep reading from stdout and sterr until the process dies. When the child closes the stdin its (error/debug/info) messages on stout/sterr will be lost. I am not just concerned about checking both the return-code and this exception, I am also worried about losing important information.
