Found it! from twisted.internet.protocol import ClientFactory, Protocol, ProcessProtocol from twisted.internet import reactor
devnull = open('/dev/null').fileno() print devnull factory = ClientFactory() factory.protocol = Protocol reactor.connectTCP('localhost', 'http', factory) reactor.callWhenRunning(reactor.spawnProcess, ProcessProtocol(), '/bin/sleep', args=['/bin/sleep', '1000'], childFDs={0: devnull, 1: 'r', 2:'r'}) reactor.run() Run this, then: lsof -I @localhost will show that the child process has the socket open on FD 0. Now I grant that there's no need to pass /dev/null to the stdin of the process. I should just leave 0 out of childFDs instead. But why does this not work? lsof shows that the socket is on FD 3 in the parent process, and the print statement shows that the FD of devnull is 3 as well! Am I missing something obvious? Peter.
