Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment: Hmm, we don't like these open-for-eternity file descriptors; we had such a thing for os.urandom() but removed it (see #1177468).
I'm okay with DEVNULL (or even just NULL) as a shorthand, but it should open (and close) the devnull device each time just as if a normal fd was given. ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5870> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
