[New-bugs-announce] [issue21772] platform.uname() not EINTR safe

[Tor Colvin]

New submission from Tor Colvin:

platform.uname() periodically spews EINTR errors on mac - so use subproces.communicate() which is EINTR safe after http://bugs.python.org/issue1068268

Calling f.read() on naked os.open() output can produce "IOError: [Errno 4] Interrupted system call". Attached is a suggested fix.
