This came up on python-list with
os.spawnl (os.P_NOWAIT, r"c:\windows\notepad.exe")
Tim Golden confirmed crash with Win7 on 2.7.?
I did same with 3.2.2 in both interpreter and from IDLE (IDLE hangs and then restarts after closing the 'pythonw has stopped' error message box).
Above apparently works in XP, at least with Py2.2.
