I calling a Windows executable with PROC = subprocess.Pope n('...'), and
blocking further python execution until the process terminates with
PROC.wait(). Occasionally, something unusual happens with the
subprocess, and it fails without terminating the process. When this
happens, my Python program doesn't detect the error condition, and
hangs.
What can I do about this?

By definition, don't the various "Popen" things imply at least
one pipe is created, for reading by default. But you seem not to have
any pipes in this call (or aren't using them, as it seems you are
getting back an object representing the entire subprocess state).
Perhaps the failure mode is not the termination of the subprocess, but a
state where it is waiting for a user response, which you do not provide.
Your wait() logic, with no access of pipe streams (visible)
seems similar to the use of
os.spawnl*()
followed by
os.waitpid()

I am just starting to use Python. Does Python have all the regular

Is Python missing any features available in Perl?

The command string consists of "filename.exe instruction1 instruction2

How do I pass command line instructions in process.Process? I tried a

I decide to seperate my data collection routine from my data analysis

subprocess model in Python 2.4.
The main program spawns the subprocess and receives data from the
pipe. When some event occurs (e.g. the user clicks the 'Stop' button
on GUI), the main program will send the subprocess a command to change
its behavior or ask it to exit.
However, my code (attached...

Hi,
I've used subprocess with 2.4 several times to execute a process, wait
for it to finish, and then look at its output. Now I want to spawn
the process separately, later check to see if it's finished, and if it
is look at its output. I may want to send a signal at some point to
kill the process. This seems straightforward, but it doesn't seem to
be working.
Here's my test case:

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,...
