Hi, I am using pexpect to spawn an interactive program and wait for particular string in its output. It works fine but once I get this required information, I really don't care about the child process anymore. I would effectively want to "detach" from it. Is there any way to do such thing in pexpect? I did read pexpect's doc but couldn't find any information in this regard. Currently, I am spawning a new thread that just does pexpect_spawned_child.close(wait=1). It seems to work in some cases but the child process is occassionally getting deadlocked.
# strace -p 23159 Process 23159 attached - interrupt to quit write(2, "H_235J Task 4 being run as INCR"..., 72 <unfinished ...> It just sits there indefinitely. Python is 2.3.3 and the OS is SuSe 9.1. Thanks, Raghu. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
