Thanks, that's interesting. It seems odd to me that w9xpopen.exe (because of
its name) is still used on Windows 7, so I can see why it was removed in Python
3.4.
Since I don't use the popen function at all in my application, I think it
should be OK to exclude w9xpopen.exe in my py2exe setup
According to the message box that appears when it is run, w9xpopen.exe is only
used on Windows 95/98. If that is the case, why it is still included in Python

I think I'll use PyWin32 if it's available on the user's system, and otherwise
fall back to using subprocess.Popen, since I want my script to be

That was actually a mistake in the app_list.xml file. As you said:
