Ned Deily added the comment: There certainly could be differences in behavior considering how old 10.6.8 and 10.4.11 are. I'm not a subprocess expert but it seems to me that, if your program hangs doing a readline from process.stdout, chances are you are running into a pipe buffer deadlock as warned about in the subprocess module documentation:
"Warning - Use communicate() rather than .stdin.write, .stdout.read or .stderr.read to avoid deadlocks due to any of the other OS pipe buffers filling up and blocking the child process." https://docs.python.org/dev/library/subprocess.html#popen-objects ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29609> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
