Hi All,
I'm using subprocess.Pope n to run a C++ compiler and have set stdout =
PIPE. The exact line of code that I am using is:
process = Popen(command, stdout=PIPE)
status = process.wait()
This works fine until a large amount of data is written to stdout.
When this occurs, my python program seems to freeze. It will no longer
run or respond to Ctrl-C. I am assuming that it is stuck waiting for
the process to end, but I'm not sure why this should take so long (I
have left it running for hours and it never ended)
At the moment the code is being executed on a Win32 environment.
Is anyone aware of why this might be occurring, or of any ways around
this? Does the PIPE implementation in Win32 have a maximum buffer
size?
Regards,
James McGill

pipes always have a limited buffer size, on all platforms. you're
supposed to read data from them as it arrives (e.g. by explicitly
reading from the "stdout" attribute, or by calling "communicat e").
if you cannot do that, bind the channel to a file, not a pipe.

I am trying to rewrite a PERL automation which started a "monitoring"

collective outputs to stdout.
In production there are lots of these subprocesses but here is a

this has me puzzled; I've created a small test app to show the problem
I'm having.
I want to use subprocess to execute system commands from inside a
Tkinter app running under Cygwin.
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
getting errors.

I'm a developer on the matplotlib project, and I am having trouble with the
subprocess module on windows (Python 2.4.2 on winXP). No trouble to report
with linux. I need to use _subprocess instead of pywin32, but my trouble
exists with either option:
import subprocess
process = subprocess.Popen(, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
stat = process.wait()
print process.stdout.read()

I'm trying to use the py-gnuplot module on windows, and have
been unable to get it to work reliably under Win2K and WinXP.
By default, it uses popen(gnuplotcmd,'w'), but in some
situations that consistently gets an "invalid operand" IOError
when write() is called on the pipe.
So I switched to subprocess. It works fine when executed
"normally" (e.g. "python progname.py"), but when bundled by
py2exe, it always does this:

The first print statement does what you'd expect.
The second print statement has rather a lot of rat in it.
The goal here is to write a function that will return the man page for
some command (mktemp used as a short example here) as text to client
code, where the groff markup will be chopped to extract all of the
command options. Those options will eventually be used within an
emacs mode, all things going swimmingly.

Consider this scenario, where in I need to use subprocess to execute a

2) calling poll() on the subprocess object?

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:

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.
