The attached file test_startfile.py is a very simple test for os.startfile on Windows. It needs an empty file 'empty.vbs' as well.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The patch looks fine, except that the conversion of a path name to Unicode should use the "mbcs" codec. Please apply (before the trunk freeze, or after the unfreeze); please also add empty.vbs to Tools/msi/msi.py

Logged In: YES user_id=11105 Do I have to add something to Lib/test/regrtest.py, so that the test is skipped on non-Windows platforms?

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Thanks Thomas! I'll check about the non-Windows platforms.

Logged In: YES user_id=11105 Committed as rev. 43644 and rev. 43645. Changed the unicode conversion, and added some comments. Thanks.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Indeed: you should phrase the import as from os import startfile Then it will get skipped if startfile is not available.
