The CreateProcess() function that subprocess uses on Windows allows for creation of processes in a suspended state. To then start the process running though you need to call ResumeThread on the primary thread of the process. Currently this thread handle gets closed, then discarded by the subprocess module. In order to continue making use of subprocess, but also use the CREATE_SUSPENDED flag, I modified my local copy of subprocess to retain the thread when the CREATE_SUSPENDED flag was supplied. If the CREATE_SUSPENDED flag is not requested, then the code behaves exactly the same as it currently does. The attached patch is against Subversion trunk, revision 53646.

This patch doesn't work. Three bugs: (1) bad syntax, && should be & (2) global name CREATE_SUSPENDED isn't defined; and (3) after the if statement, ht.Close() happens anyway.
