subprocess only good for win32?

[wukong]

subprocess works fine on my win pro 32-bit, but not on vista 64-bit.
am i doing some wrong, or it just won't work for win64? If that's
true, will it be extended to win64 in teh future?
thanks in advance

You are more likely to get a helpful answer if you give a minimal
example and explain exactly what 'not [works fine]' means. What did
happen? Include full error traceback if there was one.

WindowsError: [Error 14001] The application has failed to start

because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the
application event log for more detail

This is a configuration error on your system. The application you are
trying to start is incorrectly installed - it's not only that Python
can't start it, but nobody can.

but python runs happy otherwise, only this call to subprocess resulted
in an err. does anyone know for sure subprocess runs on win64? or
any others like, popen does?
thanks

Subprocess runs another program. It's the program you are running that's
giving the error, Python is merely reporting it.

Hi!

side-by-side configuration is incorrect

Others have given you an explanation.

A possibility: you use a DLL directly, without having installed.
That is OK with some DLL, and no OK with others DLL.

It may sound strange, but even in 64-bit Python on Win64,
sys.plattform=="win32".

You can check that subprocess is working, e.g. with
subprocess.call('dir', shell=True)
