Christian Heimes added the comment: It's not going to be easy and there is also no point to implement the feature. The subprocess module requires either a real file or a PIPE. A real file is needed because the subprocess module uses some low level operation system functions for speed efficiency. It writes data directly to a file descriptor (the number returned by fileno()).
In your case it seems have to interpreted None as 0 which is - by accident - the file descriptor of stdout. For small amounts of data use Popen(..., stdout=subprocess.PIPE) and use out, err = communicate([stdin]), for large amounts of data you should use a temporary file (tempfile module). In your case please use the platform module instead of uname :) ---------- nosy: +tiran resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> pending __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1631> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
