[issue5870] subprocess.DEVNULL

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Lucas, Windows has a /dev/null-like device. I think Jean's suggestion is
reasonable, but it should be a special constant instead of creating a
file descriptor unconditionnally (that is, the file should only be open
if needed). Also, a patch should be provided (with tests :-)).
