Gabriel Genellina <gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar> added the comment: At interpreter shutdown, the module's global variables are set to None before the module itself is released. __del__ methods may be called in those precaries circumstances, and should not rely on any global state.
A temporary fix would be to make Popen._internal_poll and Popen._handle_exitstatus keep a reference to the os module (just add a default argument os=os, like sys=sys in __del__). But this is just a hack; the real fix would be to avoid defining __del__ at all. A patch for subprocess.py is attached. ---------- components: +Library (Lib) keywords: +patch nosy: +gagenellina Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12901/subprocess.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5099> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
