Yes - I saw that - thanks. This suggests that as I have used closed_fds=False, then the child process will inherit the handles under Windows, which it doesn't seem to. This documentation looks wrong to me. I know Windows has no fork - that's why I used subprocess. This MSDN page suggests you you need to do something with SetHandleInformation to get them to be inherited. Doesn't subprocess do that? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682499(VS.85).aspx -- Jeremy Sanders http://www.jeremysanders.net/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
