This function should maybe raise an exception if the timeout is negative, and ther caller must replace negative timeout with zero. > A judicious use of prints in subprocess.py, reveals that the timeout passed > to wait() ends up being negative. That value, once cast to a DWORD, > ultimately causes a very long wait (0xfffffff2, in my testing). This sounds dangerous and must be fixed. Python must not convert negative values to very large positive values. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46716> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
