Process creation.accross platofrms...

[Tobe]

Hi..

I'm trying to find a way to spawn, wait for and read stdout of child
processes that works on both win32 and *nix machines...

My main problems being...

It's not clear to me how a parent process can (under *nix) retrieve the
output of a forked child...

I can't get spawnv to work on win32. It always fails with 'OSError: [Errno
8] Exec format error' (and even if I did how do I retrieve it's stdout ??)

This is all for a minimal CGI capable HTTP server that I can use to test
scripts accross both platforms...

Any help very gratefully recvd..

Thanks,
