I have the following code:

    proc = popen2.Popen3(cmdline, capturestderr=True)
    pid = proc.pid

And I get the following error:
AttributeError: 'instance' object has no attribute 'pid'

Looks like the reason the 'pid' attribute isn't there is because it
isn't really accessible from Java.  We simply get a process object back
(which is stored in the 'process' attribute).  Looks like there's been a
couple of tickets regarding this for years now:

Maybe we can do this through jna instead?  That's probably just a
difficult due to the file streams.

We can't really support this, but I'll leave it open until we document 
this fact somewhere

Alan, this one will be fixed with the other pid bug right?

1. Unfortunately not. The os.getpid() fix only applies to the os function (which we get from jnr). This is about the process ID of the child process. jszakmeisters links have more detail. pjenveys comment is correct.

2. The popen2 module is deprecated, in favour of the subprocess module, which we encouraging people to switch to.

Close as "out of date"?

Works for me. Closing.

Just to avoid confusion, I meant Alan's suggestion to close as out of date works for me, not that the pid "works for me" :) -- closed as out of date.
