This PR prevents stdout and stderr from subprocesses from polluting pip's stdout by making it go to pip's stderr instead.
This helps with various things, including:
pip freeze
.call_subprocess()
) an issue I noted here with usinggetEffectiveLevel()
to determine the current log level.test_spinner_finish()
's test expectations.It also addresses this code comment inside
call_subprocess()
made in PR #3505:pip/src/pip/_internal/utils/misc.py
Lines 687 to 693 in 8ef3283
The PR uses the comprehensive
call_subprocess()
tests I added as part of PR #6312 to make sure the code changes are working as desired.
