Gabriel Genellina <gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar> added the comment: I think communicate() works as documented now: reads stdout/stderr until EOF, *and* waits for subprocess to terminate.
You're asking for a different method, or perhaps an optional parameter "return_when_died" to communicate, so it returns as soon as the child process terminates (I don't like the parameter name...) I think this is more a feature request than a crash, targeted to 2.7/3.1 - 2.4 only gets security fixes anyway. ---------- nosy: +gagenellina type: crash -> feature request versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.1 -Python 2.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4216> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
