Subject: [Doc-SIG] Missing platform information in subprocess documentation
Message-ID: <44D1FD51.4080803@cenix-bioscience.com>

Hi,

In the Python 2.4 documentation for the subprocess.Popen class 
(http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/node235.html), many of the 
platform differences are documented clearly.  However the preexec_fn 
keyword argument is not supported on Windows and this is not mentioned 
anywhere obvious.

Thanks,

close_fds is also not supported on Windows, as I discovered shortly 
after sending the original e-mail.
