When I run this little test program on Linux: import subprocess subprocess.call(["python","-V"], stderr=open("log.tmp","a"))
the file log.tmp is appended to each time I run it. When I run it on Windows, however, the file log.tmp gets overwritten each time I run it. Though I can make it append on Windows like this: import os import subprocess f = open("log.tmp", "a") f.seek(0, os.SEEK_END) subprocess.call(["python","-V"], stderr=f) I don't understand why that should be necessary. Is this a Python/subprocess bug on Windows? (I tested with Python 2.5.1 and Python 2.6.2 on Windows XP SP2).
