We have an application that works on Linux. It has to be ported
to Windows XP, and there's one bug that's driving me crazy.
There's a number-crunching program written in C++. It is invoked
by a Tkinter python script. The script uses the threading
module to separate out the heavy processing. The worker thread
uses popen4 to run the C++ program and capture its standard
output. This output is sent to the master thread through a
queue and displayed by the gui.
As I said, it works on Linux. On XP, every call to readline()
on the program's stdout returns only a zero-length string.
We are confident that the C++ program doesn't behave that
way. We have tried both popen2.popen4 and win32pipe.popen 4.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

The output doesn't contain any low values by any chance? Does this also
happen when the "mode" flag is set to "b" for binary?

It works the same with both "b" and "t".

Hi,
I have a problem doing I/O in a python thread.
I want a thread to execute a command using
os.popen, read its input until the end, and
then print 'DONE' and terminate.
However, the thread hangs when it reaches
the end of the stream.

Hi, I'm using popen2.Popen4 and I'm curious what exceptions it could
raise
for example
p = popen2.POpen4( 'command string' )
i'm assuming would only raise OSError exceptions if something went
wrong internally with popen.
and also, for read operations like:
p.fromchild.read()

Hi,
I noticed with popen2.Popen4 class, sometimes the poll() method will
keep returning -1 although the command has finished.
However, when a read is done ( ex. p4instance.fromchild.read() ) and
then a poll is done, poll() will return the process exit value.
Why does this happen? perhaps I have to do some type of flush before
doing poll?

Short description: Using a wxPython based app, I would like to take a
python script in an editor window, invoke the python interpreter and
use another window as stdin/stdout/stderr.
Based on what I've read so far, I've figured that I need to do
something like:
f_in, f_out = popen4("python -u script.py")
where I have extracted the text from the editor and put it in
"script.py". (However, see below).

Hi all,
I know it's a kind of bizarre question but here I go: I want to
execute an script using popen4. This script executes a command in turn
using popen4 too. The first one throws a 256 exit code.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
