using Python 2.7.1 on OS X 10.7.5 I'm managing a process of drush using an instance of subprocess.Popen
The process has a '--verbose' option. When that option is passed as part of the initializer `args' argument, the process will hang. It should be no surprise as drush output with the --verbose option can be _extremely_ verbose, and I can do without it, but I would like to learn how to handle it. I've googled this topic, but my poor little brain is yet to sort out all of the content found. ## my relevant code follows : p = subprocess.Popen(args,stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,stdout=subprocess.PIPE) ## wait() is 'forever' if '--verbose' used exit_status = p.wait() output = p.stdout.read() ## done I 'suspect' that using a tempfile may be the solution, if so, I could use some examples. thanks -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
