Altap Salamander Support Forums

CMD shell started from Altap Salamander does not provide a proper file descriptors (stdout).

I wrote a small Python script test.py containing just the following two lines:

for i in range(100):
  print "hello"

If the script is executed from the command shell started by Windows 7 one can see the following replies:
>D:\tmp>python test.py > d:\tmp\blb.txt
>
>D:\tmp>test.py > d:\tmp\blb.txt
>

However, if the command shell is started through Altap Salamander, then the replies are like this:
>D:\tmp>python test.py > d:\tmp\blb.txt
>
>D:\tmp>test.py > d:\tmp\blb.txt
>close failed in file object destructor:
>Error in sys.excepthook:
>
>Original exception was:
>

">" at the beginning of lines were added by me to highlight the sessions.
The environment:
-Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate
-Python 2.6.2 32 bit
-Altap Salamander 2.52
I noticed different environment variable setting in the CMD shells:

CMD Windows 7:
CommonProgramFiles=C:\Program Files\Common Files
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files

CMD Salamander:
CommonProgramFiles=C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files (x86)

I would guess it deals with file type association, its related mechanism of execution, and mixing 32 and 64 bit environments.

Any clue what is going on?

Thank you

I'm not sure that's the source of the problem.

Its a timing related issue. A pipe/redirector must be closed before the end which does not happen.
