On Linux, for non root users, it's limited to 1048576, and can be set to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size. After a quick look at the kernel code, there's apparently no max value (it must be a multiple of the page size, though). I think 3MB should be more than enough, so I suggest to update the test to use support.PIPE_MAX_SIZE. If this breaks up again, then we could set PIPE_MAX_SIZE dynamically, like: r, w = os.pipe() PIPE_MAX_SIZE = 2 * fcntl.fcntl(w, 1032) But F_GETPIPE_SZ is Linux only, and quite recent (since 2.6.35 apparently). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17835> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
