[New-bugs-announce] [issue31712] subprocess with stderr=subprocess.STDOUT hang

[l4mer]

New submission from l4mer <janusz.dziedzic at gmail.com>:

I am using ssh mux + authorized key. So can exectute commands without passwod.

1. disconnect mux by: ssh user at localhost -O exit
2. run simple script
import subprocess

if __name__ == '__main__':
    cmd = ["ssh", "user at localhost", "id"]
    try:
        buf = subprocess.check_output(cmd, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        buf = e.output
3. This always hang in read(3,
fcntl(3, F_GETFL)                       = 0 (flags O_RDONLY)
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0

read(3,

4. After ctr+c
read(3, ^CProcess 21619 detached
 <detached ...>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 6, in <module>
    buf = subprocess.check_output(cmd, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 567, in check_output
    output, unused_err = process.communicate()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 791, in communicate
wigig at wigig-Latitude-E5270:~$     stdout = _eintr_retry_call(self.stdout.read)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 476, in _eintr_retry_call
    return func(*args)

BTW, when MUX is created it always works.
