Segev Finer added the comment: I removed previous_handle_list in _execute_child since I noticed subprocess already clobbers the other attributes in startupinfo anyhow.
I figured there will be some discussion about how to pass the handle list, so here's my two cents: * subprocess already exposes a bit of Windows specific flags like creationflags and STARTUPINFO. * Windows doesn't really break it's API in backwards incompatible ways often (Heck it barely breaks it ever, which is why we have so many Ex functions and reserved parameters :P). * The _winapi module tries to expose WinAPI functions as is. So I implemented this as an internal attribute on STARTUPINFO, in the first version, since I wasn't sure we want this exposed to users, but I still wanted to try and mimic the original WinAPI functions internally. The lpAttributeList is a change requested by eryksun that brings it even closer to WinAPI and exposes it for further extension with additional attributes. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46185/windows-subprocess-close-fds-v3.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19764> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
