Unfortunately, no. close_fds is also not available on windows (or at least not when trying to capture stderr with stdout like this.) So, now I'm going with ... p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=STDOUT) I don't really understand what close_fds does. I only put it in because it was in the example code. I have a report that this code works on windows, and it is also working for me on linux. _________________________________________________________________ More than messages–check out the rest of the Windows Live™. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
