Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: Here is my current interpretation:
subprocess uses os.pipe() to create the file handles used for communication. These handles normally always raise an error ([Errno 29] Illegal seek) when trying to seek() on them, which the IO lib interprets as meaning the stream is not seekable, which it then handles fine. However, if the first seek() succeeds, the IO lib thinks the stream is seekable and treats any subsequent seek() failure as an error which it reports to the user. It may be what you are witnessing. Can you try applying the following patch? ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14323/seek-aix.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6236> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
