New submission from Helmut Jarausch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Background:
I (as many others, too) have used the following code in the past
ARC='MyDumpFile'
tar_inp= os.popen('/bin/tar cjf '+ARC+' -T -','w')
....
tar_exit_code= tar_inp.close()
if tar_exit_code != None and tar_exit_code % 256 :
print "some error messages"
When replacing this - as suggested - by
TAR= Popen(('/bin/tar','cjf',ARC,'-T','-'),stdin=PIPE)
tar_inp= TAR.stdin
....
tar_inp.close() always returns None which was an indication
of NO ERROR when used together with popen.
So this has proabaly to be replaced by
tar_inp.close()
tar_exit_code= TAR.wait()
if tar_exit_code != 0 :
print "some error messages"
I suggest a warning / hint to change checking for errors
when upgrading to subprocess.Popen
