That might be it. Also the failure possibly only happens when multiple builds are being run thus slowing down process creation and termination. > Would this cause a handle leak if os.waitpid() is not used? It seems so, yes. So to expand on #4: 4a) create a new handle type that closes the handles on dealloc 4b) return the process ID instead using GetProcessId() and callers interested in waiting would then need to use _winapi.OpenProcess() to convert it to a handle for os.waitpid() or _winapi.WaitForSingleObject() 4c) add a third optional argument to os.startfile() "mode" that mimics the mode semantics of the os.spawn*() functions ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15526> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
