New submission from Simon Lipp :
>From current `os` documentation:
> A file descriptor has an “inheritable” flag which indicates if the file
> descriptor can be inherited by child processes
from current `subprocess` documentation:
> If close_fds is true, all file descriptors except 0, 1 and 2 will be closed
> before the child process is executed
It would be helpful to explicitly specify that subprocess.Popen does not takes
into account the inheritable flag ; thas is, that inheritable fds will still be
closed with open_fds = False, and that non-inheritable fds will still be kept
with open_fds = True.
