On Windows, inheritable handles (including open files) are still inherited when a standard stream is overriden in the subprocess module (default value of close_fds is set to False in this case). This issue cannot be solved (at least, I don't see how): it is a limitation of Windows. bInheritedHandles must be set to FALSE (inherit *all* inheritable handles) when handles of standard streams are specified in the startup information of CreateProcess().
