[issue8631] subprocess.Popen.communicate(...) hangs on Windows

[Patrick Gansterer]

Patrick Gansterer <paroga at paroga.com> added the comment:

I can reproduce this on WinXP with 2.5, 2.7 and 3.2. On my other box (Win7 64bit) the same code works without problems.
This problem happens only when I make a subprocess.call() to executables from my msysgit installation (e.g. echo, git). A call to 'notepad' or 'svn' works without problems.

After entering the following python does not respond to any input:
>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.call('echo')
