Hi all,
I am having a very strange problem with cx_Oracle, has anyone seen this kind of behavior before: ActivePython 2.5.2.2 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar 27 2008, 18:53:24) [C] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from commands import getstatusoutput >>> (status, output) = getstatusoutput('ls') >>> status 0 >>> from cx_Oracle import connect, SYSDBA >>> db = connect(mode=SYSDBA) >>> (status, output) = getstatusoutput('ls') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/opt/ASpy25/lib/python2.5/commands.py", line 55, in getstatusoutput sts = pipe.close() IOError: [Errno 10] No child processes Basically, once I have made a connection to Oracle I can no longer use getstatusoutput(). This is a real problem as I need to get a list of things to work on from Oracle then spawn commands to process them...
