Oh, I misunderstood "in subprocesses", I read "in the subprocess module". The definition of FD inheritance is tricky. For example, on UNIX "non-inheritable" file descriptors are still inherited at fork :-) I hope that the documentation is explicit enough: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/os.html#inheritance-of-file-descriptors Victor -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
