Mark Mentovai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: This is not limited to Windows. I experience this bug on Mac OS X and Linux as well.
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2008-August/505753.html Attachment 3210.py is a reduced testcase. It attempts to execute nocmd, which should not exist. The expected behavior is for OSError to be thrown each time, with ENOENT or EACCES set in the errno field, depending on the environment. Due to this bug, Python will hit the file descriptor limit at some point instead. For quick reproduction, set a low but reasonable limit on the number of maximum open files: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bash$ ulimit -n 256 [EMAIL PROTECTED] bash$ python 3210.py 250 Traceback (most recent call last): File "3210.py", line 11, in <module> raise e OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files ---------- nosy: +markmentovai Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12287/3210.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3210> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
