Steve Dower added the comment: Attached a patch to 3.5 that resolves this, and I'll backport to 3.4. I haven't got access to Windows 7 or 8 right now to test it, but it's fine on Vista without the patch and 8.1 with the patch. It'd be great if people could help check exactly which version of W

R. David Murray added the comment: All the buildbots are volunteer hosted and run, so we need someone to volunteer to run a Windows 8 buildbot. That said, I'm not sure if we are formally supporting Windows 8 yet or not. Actually, given the lack of a buildbot, I suppose the answer is "not" :)

[issue18382] multiprocessing's overlapped PipeConnection issues on Windows 8

New submission from Walter Prins: It appears that Windows 8 (Version 6.2.9200 x64) has introduced changes in behaviour that causes the multiprocessing module's use of overlapped PipeConnection to fail (Python 3.4 32bit and release 3.3.2 32bit). This issue previously existed (see issue #12328 p
