coreolyn, sweet stuff. I don't fully understand it yet, but the "Suffering from Buffering" article is proving to be a nice read. Does your program keep the stdout and stderr output in such a way that you can reassemble it in the order it actually was generated?

I use two separate logs for stderr and stdout. To be completely honest I haven't had a situation where I've needed to make sure they are completely in sync. So maybe I was overly smug in my assumption. You should read the comments that are included in the full node of Open3 and bad gut feeling apparently there's is a lot of extraneous ( read useless code ). I never was given an opportunity, nor did the need arise to refactor it.
