Jesse Litton <3vi...@gmail.com> added the comment: Yes, socat was compiled under cygwin. I'll have to investigate whether I want to go the route of cygwin separately or just just leave the script as a pure stdin/out filter (since neither I nor the users have the cygwin environment installed).
After reading what you said, I re-read the MS notes (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/redirection.mspx?mfr=true) and finally noticed the 'specific to each tool' text next to the description for handles 3-9. Just to be sure, I came up with this simple test: echo test 1>&3 | set /P TEST= 0<&3 Which basically squashes my misconception, as it doesn't work. So, I believe now that what I wanted is beyond the capabilities of the common Windows command shell, and this can be closed/invalid as not being a Python issue. I also wish I was home using my Linux box about now. :) Thank you all very much for taking the time to help educate me on this! ---------- resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12262> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
