nested popen4

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
J.

Popen4 is gone in 3.0 and I presume deprecated in 2.6, replaced in both
by new subprocess module. Latter might work better for you.

We have a python+Tkinter program that works properly on Linux, but when moved to Windows (XP) it behaves in a strange way. There's a section like this: (child_out, child_in) = popen2.popen4(cmd) line = child_out.readline() while line: do_something_with(line) line = child_out.readline()

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...

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()

I'm having trouble with Popen4 locking up on me. It appears to be unrelated to the actual command I'm running, because I made the command just "cat" (I'm on UNIX) to echo whatever input I sent it, and it's still locking. The trick is, it works for small amounts of data. After roughly 1.5K of input, it locks up and will not write any more data to the pipe. I assume a buffer got full somewhere, and it's blocking the write call. ...

Overview: 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
