Hi list:
I have been working with the universal_newlines option that can be
specified while using the subprocess module. I'm calling an app that
uses sys.stdout.write('\r'+' '*80) to manage its stdout. The situation
that I encountered was that when I wanted to log this output into a file
it looked rather freaky, so I needed to change the way the output was
logged. I found the answer in the universal_newlines option (it
basically changed all the \r for \n, which is a good idea in my case).
When I read the documentation for the universal_newline it stated that
"Also, the newlines attribute of the file objects stdout, stdin and
stderr are not updated by the communicate() method.". So I did not use
the communicate method thinking that it could not be used for my
purpose. After some hours of trying to make it work without the
communicate method I decide to use it and to my surprise it worked. So
my question is what does " are not updated by the communicate() method "
mean in the documentation.
Thanx in advance.
