If we don't want to inherit file descriptors in child processes, the answer is simple: the subprocess module (this fact is not even mentioned in the PEP).

Note that on Windows subprocess has no equivalent of a passfds argument, and if you redirect the standard streams then you are forced to inherit all inheritable handles.
