[New-bugs-announce] [issue16635] Interpreter not closing stdout/stderr on exit

[Filip Zyzniewski]

New submission from Filip Zyzniewski:

When using a Python script as a unix pipe filter with its stdout redirected to a file:

python script.py > /nfs/foo

user is not notified of some writing problems on NFS, because these are sometimes reported on close(), and the interpreter never does neither close(1) nor close(2):

$ strace -eclose python -c '' 2>&1 | grep  'close([12])'
$
