Giampaolo Rodola' <g.rod...@gmail.com> added the comment: I totally agree this should be fixed (there was a similar issue for psutil: http://code.google.com/p/psutil/issues/detail?id=58) but communicate() and wait() should be affected in the same manner.
Probably it would make sense to add an is_running() method and decorate send_signal(), kill(), communicate() and wait() methods with a function which makes sure that the process is still running, otherwise raises an exception instead. Maybe it would also makes sense to provide a brand new NoSuchProcess exception class. ---------- nosy: +astrand, brian.curtin, giampaolo.rodola _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6973> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
