Hi,
Code:
import os, time
def child(pipeout):
zzz = 0
while True:
time.sleep(zzz)
msg = ('Spam %03d' % zzz).encode()
os.write(pipeout, msg)
zzz = (zzz+1) % 5
def parent():
pipein, pipeout = os.pipe()
if os.fork() == 0:
child(pipeout)
else:
while True:
line = os.read(pipein, 32)
print('Parent %d got [%s] at %s' % (os.getpid(), line, time.time()))
parent()
Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python34/pipe1.py", line 17, in <module>
parent()
File "C:/Python34/pipe1.py", line 11, in parent
if os.fork() == 0:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'fork'
Why does this error appear? Module os provides fork(). How to solve this problem? Kindly help.
