The filter_pipe function used os.popen3, which according to the python documentation has been deprecated since python 2.6: http://docs.python.org/library/os.html The suggested replacement is subprocess.Popen, see also http://docs.python.org/release/2.4/lib/node238.html and http://docs.python.org/release/2.4/lib/module-subprocess.html. In windows, the subprocess module needs the msvcrt python module, which is part of the python standard lib since 2.4: http://docs.python.org/release/2.4/lib/module- msvcrt.html Unfortunately, it seems that in GUB, python is not built with that python module, so of course the subprocess module refuses to laod. I have now reverted the filter_pipe function to use the deprecated os.popen3 again. However, if we ever resolve the subprocess/msvcrt issue in Windows, we should replace all those deprecated functions by the proper "new" functions....
