  Subject: Fork on windows


  Hello Guys,
      I am new to the list and to Python.
      I have been reading Oreilly's Python book and some web page on child process creation
      using Python.

  Basically, on windows, I want to start a process and monitor its stdout and stderror.
  I have looked at os.py from python lib directory, and it explicitly requires fork to be present
  to "publish" os.open3

  e.g.: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'open3'

  if I can't use os.open methods, is there another solution to trigger an exec file and monitor its stdout/stderr?
  Sorry if the question was asked. I have done several unsuccessful web search to have a definitive answer.

  Obviously I would like the same code to run on both windows and linux, whenever possible
  I try to stay away from window specific code, but I fear I might have to do it... ;)

  Any help is welcome,
  Tx in advance
  Dave Lajoie
