You should ensure that you have that file, and if not, find out where to get it. -smithj -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
subprocesses, stdin/out, ttys, and beating insubordinate processes into the ground
First a bit about what I'm trying to do. I need a function which takes a
patchfile and patches a source directory. Thats it. However, I need to
be able to do so no matter what the patchlevel (-px) of the diff is. So,
my solution is to just try to patch until it works or you try a level
more than 3. However, if you have a reversed patch, or patch can't find
the right file, GNU patch tries to ask for input and I don't want that.
I know that patch will run non-interactively when backgrounded in a
shell (no controlling tty). This is what I've tried so far:
def patchme(self, provides, f, destDir, patchlevels):
for patchlevel in patchlevels:
patchArgs = ['patch', '-d', destDir, '-p%s'%patchlevel, ]
if self.backup:
patchArgs.append(['-b', '-z', self.backup])
if self.extraArgs:
patchArgs.append(self.extraArgs)
log.info('attempting to patch the source with file %s and
patchlevel %s' % (f,patchlevel))
p1 = subprocess.Popen([provides, f],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=False)
p2 = subprocess.Popen(patchArgs, stdin=p1.stdout, shell=False)
message = p2.communicate()[0] # patch seems to use stdout
for everything, even errors
if message != None and self.patcherror.search(message):
os.kill(p2.pid, signal.SIGTERM)
elif p2.wait():
log.info('patch did not apply with path level %s' %
patchlevel)
print message
else:
return
log.error('could not apply the patch to your build dir')
However, I still get an interactive prompt, no matter what I try! Using
shell=False did not help, nor did trying to kill the pid if python sees
a line from patch which isn't saying what its patching or giving info on
a specific hunk. Any suggestions?
-smithj
PS: if you're a maintainer for GNU patch, a --non-interactive would be
really nice ;-) (and no, -f and -t aren't good enough as they force
other things that I don't want)

Re: Python 2.4.4 vs. 2.3.6
I would say 2.4.4, since it has the latest bugfixes of the series most distros use. --- Sent with ChatterEmail+ True push email for the Treo Smartphone http://get.chatteremail.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, Dec 27, 2006 9:05 pm Subject: Python 2.4.4 vs. 2.3.6 To: python-list@python.org My top priority is stability of the interpreter. With that in mind which version should I get: 2.4.4, 2.3.6 or something else. I will be using gcc 2.3.2(x86), 3.3(arm) and 3.4.3(arm) to cross compile it depending on the (embedded) platform.

Why do you try to call globevars as if it was a function? As the
traceback states, dictionaries can't be called like that. Just take the
() out and try again.
