Sean Reifschneider added the comment: Arguably, you should be using "select" and "read" (instead of readline) for this operation. That's what I've done in the past when doing something similar. Specifically, I believe I have looped reading into a buffer with read, and using select with a timeout (even a fraction of a second can work) until the timeout triggers. This way I don't block, but I also don't run into problems with the system call returning an error.
I avoid using readline in this case because I don't expect it to work well on the stdout of an interactive command. You may also want to look at the pty module. I guess I'd say this should probably go to the python mailing list for further discussion. Can you post a message there about it? __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1175> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
