I can't see how subprocess.Popen can replace a fork. Using a manually started process is not really viable, as it does not automatically share pre-built (read-only) data between the processes. If it can, I'd really like to know how... Yikes. This is a bummer. The conclusion seems to be, I cannot use any common cross platform, true concurrency strategies in my games. On top of that, I can't really use any form of concurrency on Win32. Lets hope we get some super fast SMP friendly backends for PyPy sooner rather than later! -Sw. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
