[Bug 10157] New: Python's os module calls can't execute commands

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10157

Summary: Python's os module calls can't execute commands
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.47.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-msvcrt
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

With the native python 2.5 and running current WINE, the python os module can
not call any commands. The subprocess module works just fine.
Minimal test case: create a file test.py:
import os
print os.popen("echo test").read()
and invoke python on it. Nothing happens, while it SHOULD output test on the
screen. Loading native msvcrt did not fix this. Also the wcmd.exe is somehow
messed up a bit. I am going to investigate this under windows and with GIT head
soon, for now reporting the bug.

Yeah.  And worse, just running 
  wine python 
doesn't give you the python prompt properly.

Running it in wineconsole doesn't either, until you hit ^C.

This is the case with both python-2.4.2 and python-2.5.1,
and both wine-0.9.9 and current git.

(We should NOT need wineconsole to run commandline apps like python, btw.
Every few months somebody breaks this.  But since the problem
seems to happen in both wine and wineconsole, I'm not going to push
the panic button on that rant yet.)

mmh, as was suggested on the kde-windows mailing list ("fix your wine first")
the problem went away by doing a fresh wineprefixcreate.. it's just like the
real stuff: format c: and everything is back to normal ;D
Also python now works all well, however it is run. hit a different problem
though: piping is broken, f.e. dir|more doesn't work as expected. I looked at
the source and had some fun with breaking the pointers but I totally do not
grasp how it should work and what is going wrong. Report in a new bug? Seems to
be a small, 1-2 byte problem in WCMD_ReadAndParseLine and WCMD_pipe ...
