Your problem is, I suspect, nothing to do with popen2(), which is
supported by the fact that the only thing other than OS different
between this and your working BSD version is the path:
>>> "F:\coding\pwSync\popen_test\testia.py"
'F:\\coding\\pwSync\\popen_test\testia.py' 

Try:
std_out, std_in = popen2.popen2("F:/coding/pwSync/popen_test/testia.py")
or:
std_out, std_in = popen2.popen2("F:\\coding\\pwSync\\popen_test\\testia.py")
(and please avoid the abuse of raw strings for Windows paths).
