Since cmd.exe also supports pipelines, I'd sort of expect it to do the right thing on Windows, too.
Don't know about later versions, but in Python 2.5 the pipes module is listed under "Unix specific services", so I guess it was never designed with Windows in mind. The reason it fails on Windows is that it assumes single quotes can be used to quote a string containing double quotes. But Windows usually requires double quotes around arguments, so you will have to escape the inner quotes: --title="That's the game! says Mike \"Hammer\" Brotsky" A quick test suggests that this will work, at least in the case where the program being passed the args is a Python program. -- Greg _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
