STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Another idea is to write a best-effort function to open a file with CLOEXEC flag: * use O_CLOEXEC if available * use fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, flags | FD_CLOEXEC) if O_CLOEXEC is missing or was silently ignored by the kernel (by open)
Attached open_cloexec.py is an implementation. -- Usage of "CLOEXEC" in the Python standard library: - subprocess: create pipe. use pipe2() or pipe()+fcntl(FD_CLOEXEC) - test_socket: create a socket. use SOCK_CLOEXEC. The test is skipped if the kernel is Linux < 2.6.28. It has a nice linux_version() which should be moved to the platform module. - test_posix: check open(O_CLOEXEC). - test_tempfile: test "cloexec" behaviour using os.spawnl() - xmlrpclib: use FD_CLOEXEC on the socket You may also add pipe_cloexec() to os, and socket_cloexec() to socket? ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22078/open_cloexec.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12105> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
