Alternatively, someone could commit some rough equivalent of this to the
subprocess module:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/440554
Yes, I wrote it, and previously suggested it within the previous thread
"Add timeout to subprocess.py?". Guido had previously privately asked if
it could be phased as a patch to subprocess.py in such a way to be 2.2
compatible.
Aside from fcntl module semantics (I don't know if they changed, whether
it should be using FCNTL instead, ...), and/or the 3 additional
functions from pywin32 that probably should be included in the
_subprocess module on Windows, the core functionality of a pollable
subprocess is available in the above recipe.
