例如,
subprocess.Popen(["/usr/bin/vlc", "--version"], stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()
在我的电脑上导致
('VLC version 2.0.2 Twoflower (.....see the AUTHORS file.\n', '')
# longish text in stdout with versions, including GCC version, date
# nothing on stderr
在其他计算机上它导致
('', 'VLC media player 1.1.3 The Luggage (revision exported)\n')
# on stderr
还有(奇怪):
mycomp> /usr/bin/vlc --version 2>&1 > /dev/null
VLC media player 2.0.2 Twoflower (revision 2.0.1-453-g40d9fef)
mycomp> perl -e 'print `/usr/bin/vlc --version 2>&1 > /dev/null`'
(no output at all)
mycomp> /usr/bin/vlc --version 2>&1 > /dev/null | cat
(no output at all)
mycomp> socat system:'/usr/bin/vlc --version > /dev/null',stderr -
(no output at all)
mycomp> socat system:'/usr/bin/vlc --version > /dev/null',pty,stderr -

# sad, seems to be "too clevel"-type of bug.

怎么了?我应该依靠什么?
