I'm using Python 2.6 and the new subprocess module to get the exit value of an external executable. It appears the return value given by wait() or poll() operations is masked under Unix: I only get the lower 8 bits. So an exit value of 0x0402 in the C program will be seen as 0x02 in Python. And this does not happen on Windows... Any idea why that is ?
I believe that in Unix the exit code is indeed limited to 8 bits. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
