Hi I do work to remove the cpopen usages from execCmd. Using std popen over py3 and subprocess32 over py2 which both implements the same api. The only gap is the output object for async calls that we need to align with the standard implementation and modify our current usages. I don't think that adding more non-standard logics to execCmd is a good idea. we should fit the standard usage in this function or override it separately with specific implementation in commands.py. You may propose such patch
Sure, that makes sense. Are there any existing drafts/patches I could look at or help with? Merging stdout and stderr to one can POpen do for us, I belive. Any logging can indeed be done as a wrapper around execCmd.

btw, after examine the area again, isn't watchCmd func is what you describe? we just need to replace the asyncProc usages there with something that doesn't use StringIO as we do to support py3
I'm not sure how watchCmd can help with this. Isn't it just a wrapper to get asynchrounous process with a stop condition? Could you elaborate on why we want to get rid of StringIO in AsyncProc? If I understand it right, it's purpose is to make sure the executed program doesn't stall on full pipe if VDSM isn't fast enough in processing the output. Or am I missing something? But it could again be implemented as a wrapper around execCmd and not in it. Is that what you mean? -- Tomáš Golembiovský <tgolembi@redhat.com>
