Eric didn't say that he is working on a GSoC project for the PSF. Anyway the Python general mailing list might still be a better place. IMHO he can reach many more competent Python developers there who can help him with this particular problem. By the way I don't think that ctypes is the right way to go here. ctypes is very handy if you need a quick solution. However I wouldn't use it as a permanent solution for the subprocess module. It's tricky to get ctypes based solutions right on multiple platforms (32 vs 64bit). It's harder to debug a ctypes solutions rather than a C extension, too. I assume that calling overhead is greater than a pure C extension. Can ctypes release the GIL for a function call?
