[Python-Dev] Fork on Win32 - was (test_fork1 failing...)

Getting? I'm very old. I think. But even if I had a memory, I usually ignore Unix-specific posts (i.e., I can't run code with a .fork(), so can only sit back & admire the perversity of those who both can & do <wink>).

IIRC ActiveState contributed to Perl a version of fork that works on Win32. Has anyone looked at this? Could it be grabbed for Python? This would help heal one of the more difficult platform rifts. Emulating fork for Win32 looks quite difficult to me but if its already done... Neil
