New submission from George Prekas: Under Windows, if I do FreeConsole and then subprocess.call with redirected stdin or stdout or stderr, then subprocess.call fails. The only solution is either DO NOT redirect any handle OR to redirect ALL of them. The problem lies in function _get_handles at subprocess.py:810 (Python 2.7.10), which does: * GetStdHandle * DuplicateHandle via _make_inheritable.
DuplicateHandle fails if called on stdin, stdout or stderr after FreeConsole. $ cygstart /mnt/c/utils/Python35/python.exe testcase.py fails $ cygstart /mnt/c/utils/Python35/python.exe testcase.py works1 $ cygstart /mnt/c/utils/Python35/python.exe testcase.py works2 $ cygstart /mnt/c/utils/Python35/python.exe testcase.py works3 ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: testcase.py messages: 253547 nosy: George Prekas priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: subprocess with redirection fails after FreeConsole type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40868/testcase.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25492> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
