I've had real issues with subprocesses recently : from a python script,

Browsing the web, I found some hints :
- use the advanced win32 api to create non-blocking I/O : rather
complicated, non portable ...
So well, I'd like to know, do you people know any solution to this
simple problem - making a user interact directly with a subprocess ? Or
would this really require a library handling each case separately (win32
api, select().....) ?
I would guess the architectural differences are so great that an attempt
to "do something simple" is going to involve architecture-specific code.
and I personally wouldn't have it any other way. Simulating a shell
with hooks on its I/O should be so complicated that a "script kiddie"
has trouble writing a Trojan.
