Unfortunately, no.

close_fds is also not available on windows (or at least not
when trying to capture stderr with stdout like this.)

So, now I'm going with ...

p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE,
                                                                      stderr=STDOUT)


I don't really understand what close_fds does. I only put it
in because it was in the example code.

I have a report that this code works on windows,
and it is also working for me on linux.
