Message 75419 - Python tracker

The bug should be fixed in Python 2.5 since it uses:

    while read_set or write_set:
        try:
            rlist, wlist, xlist = select.select(read_set, write_set, 
[])
        except select.error, e:
            if e[0] == errno.EINTR:
                continue
            else:
                raise

EINTR is supported in subprocess for select(), read(), write() and 
waitpid()

Can't you migrate to Python 2.5 or 2.6? You can try to copy 
subprocess.py from Python 2.5 to Python 2.4.
