Leonardo Santagada <santag...@gmail.com> added the comment:

This is still the case on windows as the pipes created to talk to the process 
might be inherited by two or more simultaneous CreateProcess calls.

I've found a suggested solution to this:

By only inheriting the stdout/err/in handles and them supporting close_fds for 
windows.

Would more users be interested in a proper patch for this? For us now we have a 
lock around Popen.__init__ but that obviously doesn't suport subinterpreters 
and other calls to CreateProcess that might happen.
