Hello,
I'm having this script here:
----
import sys, tempfile, subprocess
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
i = 0
while i < 1000:
print "Hello World" * 500
i = i + 1
exit( 1 )
h,fp = tempfile.mkstemp()
print "out: " + fp
out = open(fp, "r")
proc = subprocess.Popen( [sys.argv[0], "1"], stdout = h )
while proc.poll() is None:
o = out.read()
if o:
print o
print out.read()
print "The end"
----
This scripts work wonders on Windows (and I've heard Linux is doing
well too tyvm - although if one of you could check, I don't have a
linux ready), but on OSX it outputs nothing. If I change the stdout of
the subprocess for a pipe, it works well.
I cannot confirm that the bug comes from Python, but I'm pretty sure
this should work normally. Does anyone know of this problem? Is there
a workaround? A fix, maybe?
We're using temporary files because a pipe hangs out with large
output, such as this one.
Thanks a lot,
Hans Larsen
