(Not sure if this was in response to my "let's do it in Python" post.) How many APIs would have to be copied from win32all to enable implementing popen5 in Python?

I'm not sure since I haven't implemented much yet, but we'll need at least:

win32.CreatePipe win32api.DuplicateHandle win32api.GetCurrentProcess win32process.CreateProcess win32process.STARTUPINFO win32gui.EnumThreadWindows win32event.WaitForSingleObject win32process.TerminateProcess
