On Unix, subprocess.Popen will use up a file descriptor in the parent for each use of subprocess.PIPE. The descriptor in question is one end of a pipe; the child process holds the other end. I guess the situation is similar on Windows, but I don't know for sure. -- [mdw] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
