Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Oren Tirosh (orenti) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: subprocess.py abuse of errno Initial Comment: The CalledProcessError exception's .errno attribute is set to a child process return code which is not an errno. Any attempt to look up this number with os.strerror() or errno.errorcode[] will result in meaningless output. This can break existing code that catches OSError and does not expect CalledProcessError. Possible resolutions: 1. Don't make CalledProcessError a subclass of OSError 2. If CalledProcessError stays a subclass of OSError .errno should be set to some specific meaningful value (which one? add new value to errnomodule.c?) and use a separate attribute for the child process return code. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1223937&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
