I get the following with a few runs of the above code against a freshly- built bash-4.2.39 (x24 is just a script that wraps the pipeline): $ ./bash ./x24 Read status 142, value "" Read status 142, value "Status:" Read status 142, value "" FAILED READ: "OK" Traceback (most recent call last): File "./FragmentedSend.py", line 16, in <module> os.write(1, nextSendData[0:sendLength]) OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe $ ./bash ./x24 Read status 142, value "" Read status 142, value "Statu" Read status 142, value "s:" FAILED READ: "OK" Traceback (most recent call last): File "./FragmentedSend.py", line 16, in <module> os.write(1, nextSendData[0:sendLength]) OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe $ ./bash ./x24 Read status 142, value "" Read status 142, value "Status: OK" FAILED READ: "" Traceback (most recent call last): File "./FragmentedSend.py", line 16, in <module> os.write(1, nextSendData[0:sendLength]) OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe $ ./bash ./x24 Read status 142, value "Sta" Read status 142, value "tus: O" FAILED READ: "K" Traceback (most recent call last): File "./FragmentedSend.py", line 16, in <module> os.write(1, nextSendData[0:sendLength]) OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe I get the same results if I run the pipeline in an interactive shell. This is pretty much what I expect. The whitespace and newlines will disappear due to read's $IFS processing if they're first or last in the string.
