My goal is to verify that other shells/interpreters on Windows work the same way as Python when running an application or creating a sub- process. Cmd does not. What's else there? I have Bash here but that's a Cygwin executable. And Cygwin Python does not work like Windows Python. Any ideas? Thorsten -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
