[issue15918] subprocess.Popen reads errpipe_read incorrectly, can result in short read

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith added the comment:

fyi - i suspect Python 3.2 and the backport of that to 2.x http://code.google.com/p/python-subprocess32/ do not have this issue.

but you didn't give enough information in the bug report for me to know which pipe and which read call you're talking about to really be sure.  (show tracebacks, mention specific version source lines, etc..).  If the bug is present in 2.7, we'll consider a fix for it.

regardless, I recommend *everyone* using Python 2.x use the subprocess32 module rather than the built in subprocess module.
