Summary: popen with threads
Initial Comment:
This code generate a error
##########################
import threading
import os
class TestPopen( threading.Thread ):
def run( self ):
while 1:
f = os.popen( "ls -l /" )
lines = f.read()
f.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
for i in range(50):
t = TestPopen()
t.start()
###########################
it eventually dies w/ IOErrors in the f.close() calls.
My system is:
Linux RedHat 6.2
Python 1.5.2
I tested in Python 2.0 and the same error occur.

It's been long enough... Closing this bug with 'works for
me', since that's what it does.

I cannot reproduce this with 2.1-CVS, but I am not able to
test this on RedHat 6.2 right now. It could be a limits
problem. If the original submittor is reading this: try
doing an 'unlimit' or 'ulimit -a' before running the script.
If it still crashes, please paste one of the tracebacks. I
do get IOErrors and some weird crashes when I run the above
script with lower filedescriptor limits, but not on the
f.close() call.

Thomas, you want to play with this on Linux? I already
gave my best guesses on c.l.py; there's no hope running
popen stress tests on Win9x, as whether even one popen
works there one time is a crapshoot. I assume Mr./Ms.
Anonymous is running out of system resources, but even if
so that leaves the question of whether that's 1.5.2's or
Linux's fault (if it works under current CVS, we can assume
it was 1.5.2's fault).
