🔒 Calling neovim

[bitter maple]

In a Textual app I have a function to call neovim. The idea is to jump out to a particular file, edit it, close it and return to the python app.

try:
    result = subprocess.call(
            ["nvim", "path/to/file"])
    self.label.content = str(result) 
except BlockingIOError as e:
    print(f"Caught BlockingIOError: {e}")

It successfully opens neovim, edits and saves the file but on closing neovim python crashes with:

BlockingIOError: [Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable

Much searching and reading about sockets and such has lead me here. What's the right way to go about this?

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.
