Sijin Joseph <sijinjos...@gmail.com> added the comment: @Amaury - That sounds exactly like the issue described.
To summarize the error is caused because in some versions of windows there is a bug that causes the handles to stdin/stdout to not be inherited correctly for apps run from the console "via file association". This is the kb article, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=321788 In fact looks like this issue was discussed in the Python mailing list in 2004 as well, see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2004-August/024923.html ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9390> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
