Comment 1 -M 2002-10-01 07:47:32 UTC 
Moving on to 8.0 release.
Comment 2 Adrian Likins 2002-10-01 21:47:55 UTC 
Hmm.

The pipe it is talking is broken by the 'q'.

Probabaly shouldnt traceback of course. I'll
take a look at catching this error and existing
gracefully.
Comment 3 Adrian Likins 2003-01-21 04:30:34 UTC 
should be fixed (at least, the traceback is gone) on version 3.1.4 or
higher.
Comment 4 Matt Jamison 2003-05-20 14:52:10 UTC 
still getting broken pipe error:

./wrapper.py --showall | less
There was some sort of I/O error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
version: 3.1.25 1
