Hi
it seems the script (A) finishes before the downloading ends, and the
(B) version doesn't (wanted behavior) ... this is unexpected. What
happens ?
(A) =============== =============== ==============
class vid(threading.T hread):

self.cmd = 'wget

self.child = subprocess.Pope n(self.cmd.spli t())
def run(self):
self.download()
def main():
w = vid()
w.start()
w.join()
(B) =============== =============== ==============

I guess, the spawned process still references the pipe, so the kernel keeps
the parent alive. Anyways, you're doing strange things. Why don't you
just use the "wait" method, as described in the documentation, if you don't
want to see the parent dying before its child?

"readlines" blocks, until the pipe is closed, which usually happens, if the
process dies.
On the other hand, spawned processes are usually asynchronous, you have to
explicitly _wait_ for them. And you're not waiting for it in example A.
Anyway, the _proper_ way to wait for a child process is ... guess what ...
the "wait" method of the Popen object ;)

this has me puzzled; I've created a small test app to show the problem

I want to use subprocess to execute system commands from inside a

When I open a python interpreter and run my subprocess command, all is
well. But when I run the same command from inside a Tkinter app, I'm

After I close the Toplevel widget, all of the menus in my app behave
as though they have no contents to them, i..e I can press on the File

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:

Hi. I wondered if anyone knew the rationale behind the naming of the
Popen class in the subprocess module. Popen sounds like the a suitable
name for a function that created a subprocess, but the object itself is
a subprocess, not a "popen". It seems that it would be more accurate to
just name the class Subprocess, can anyone explain why this is not the
case?
Thank you.

Ok, I re-phrase my question:
there is a batch file that executes a exe file. The batch just works
if run from command prompt and produces output to standard output and
the file.
Now, I try to call the same batch file from subprocess.Pope() call.
The batch file gets called and that internally also calls the exe

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.
