[issue9148] os.execve puts process to background on windows

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun <eryksun at gmail.com> added the comment:

Python doesn't go out of its way to fake a cross-platform POSIX environment in Windows, complete with emulated fork and exec. I don't recommend using nt.execv[e] or the os.exec* functions in Windows. Their behavior is almost always undesired. I'd be in favor of deprecating them and eventually removing them. Use subprocess instead.
