[64-bit] subprocess.Popen raises error
Hi!
I was testing my addon on the latest Kodi 18 alpha. It works with Kodi 32-bit, but I have a problem with 64-bit version when I want to run an external program using subprocess.Popen (tested on 64-bit Windows 8). In default.py file in the 35th line subprocess.Popen('ping google.com', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE) raises an error.
I have narrowed the code to the following small default.py:
Code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import subprocess
import xbmc
if __name__ == '__main__':
xbmc.log("----- Begin ----- ", level=xbmc.LOGERROR)
result = subprocess.Popen('ping -n 3 google.com', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read()
xbmc.log(str(result), level=xbmc.LOGERROR)
xbmc.log("------ End ------ ", level=xbmc.LOGERROR)that raises this error when Kodi is run by a normal user:
Code:
EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--

Error Type: <type 'exceptions.OSError'>

File "C:\Program Files\Kodi\system\python\Lib\subprocess.py", line 420, in __init__
self.stdout = os.fdopen(c2pread, 'rb', bufsize)

-->End of Python script error report<--what is wrong with subprocess.Popen in 64-bit Kodi?
