I have a piece of code that gets run in a script that
has its stdout closed: 
 
 import sys
 sys.stdout = sys.stderr
 c = subprocess.Popen (...,
 stdin = subprocess.PIPE,
 stdout = subprocess.PIPE,
 stderr = subprocess.STDOUT) 
 
and this is what I get:
Sending SVNR/permissions
Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details
follow): 
svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output: 
 
Traceback (most recent call last):
 (...)
 File ".../__init__.py", line 40, in run
 stderr = subprocess.STDOUT) 
 
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line

 errread, errwrite)
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line
986, in _execute_child
 raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory 
 
This is the child_traceback:
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line
955, in _execute_child
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/os.py", line 341, in
execvp 
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/os.py", line 379, in
_execvpe 
 func(fullname, *argrest)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory 
 
http://docs.python.org/lib/node230.html claims that
"PIPE indicates that a new pipe to the child should be
created" which doesn't seem to be the case.
Subversion code that runs the script can be seen at 
 
http://svn.collab.net/viewcvs/svn/trunk/subversion/libsvn_repos/hooks.c
 
(run_hook_cmd()).

I can't se anything in your report that indicates that a
closed stdout is the problem. execvp() says "No such file or
directory", which means that the file you are trying to
execute doesn't exist. Do you have any reason to believe
that this error message is not true?
It would help if you could give me a working *Python*
example, indicating the problem. The source
http://svn.collab.net/viewcvs/svn/trunk/subversion/libsvn_repos/hooks.c
is written in C, not Python...
