I run the following script: -- from subprocess import * Popen("ls -l") -- (yeah, I have ls.exe on Windows)
Under Python 2.4.2, this simply dumped the results of ls.exe to the terminal--sorry, to the "command shell". Under Python 2.5, both beta 1 and beta 2, it dumps the results to the command shell, but *also* prints this: Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'append'" in <bound method Popen.__del__ of <subprocess.Popen object at 0x00C04EB0>> ignored Calling Popen() with a stdout = subprocess.PIPE does not throw this exception. I vaguely intimate that this is a bug, though surely a minor one. Cheers, /larry/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
