I think I understand better - I noticed those references (although
many are in the 1.5.2 source, but not in the latest 2.2 source - which
is the other one I have currently on my system - so you might always
try using a later version if possible), but figured they were on
pretty low level failure paths and shouldn't be a problem.

However, you're saying that the handles are simply invalid even to be
used in calls (which is true for a console-less application).  In my
previous post my embedding application was still console based, so I
wouldn't have run into this.

Have you tried looking at the PC/WinMain.c file, which is how pythonw
is built.  It has some code to specifically open handles 0, 1 and 2.
So if your code runs properly under pythonw, perhaps adding some
similar startup code to your embedding environment would permit the
same behavior?
