I have also set an [-f file] option...

Finally I've found the solution to redefine the way stdin/out/err are opened
on WIN32.

****code begins here****
import sys
if sys.platform == "win32":
    import msvcrt
    msvcrt.setmode(0, os.0_BINARY) # 0 = stdin, 1 = stdout, 2 = stderr, you
can also use sys.stdin/out/err.fileno()
****code ends here****

The most interesting thing is that this code raises an exception under
PythonWin, and works perfectly when run from the shell (command.com)?

My father would say : sometimes, don't try to understand, just thank God....

Hope this helps...
