Mark,

Sounds good, I will get patching tonight. Any thoughts on CreateProcessW ?

I can't reproduce this. I expect you will find it is due to the space in the filename of your Python directory, via cmd.exe's documented behaviour with quote characters. A patch that allows the test suite to work in such an environment would be welcome, but I think you might end up needing access to GetShortPathName() rather than CreateProcess().
