New submission from Campbell Barton <ideasman42 at gmail.com>:
On Linux - tested on: Arch linux @ Debian Squeeze, this fails
python -c "__import__('webbrowser').open('http://python.org')"
The exception thats raised is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/webbrowser.py", line 70, in open_new_tab
return open(url, 2)
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/webbrowser.py", line 62, in open
if browser.open(url, new, autoraise):
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/webbrowser.py", line 276, in open
success = self._invoke(args, True, autoraise)
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/webbrowser.py", line 239, in _invoke
stderr=inout, preexec_fn=setsid)
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/subprocess.py", line 736, in __init__
restore_signals, start_new_session)
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/subprocess.py", line 1330, in _execute_child
raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg)
OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
Noticed that this wont raise an error when stdin arg isn't passed to Popen:
line 237:
p = subprocess.Popen(cmdline, close_fds=True, stdin=inout,
Removing tdin=inout makes firefox load ok, however this is there for a reason so its not a useful fix ofcourse.
