qtconsole: ValueError('close_fds is not supported on Windows platforms if you redirect stdin/stdout/stderr',)

[unpingco]

Line 308 in IPython/kernel/connect.py should be changed to

    return Popen([sys.executable, '-c', cmd, '--existing', cf] + argv,
    stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, close_fds=sys.platform != "win32",

to account for this ValueError on windows.

Hi,
I've just uploaded my IPython to version 1.0.0 and I got exactly this error trying to launch the qtconsole.
I've also fixed the problem manually changing IPython/kernel/connect.py file as in 14b007d.

@aezio what is sys.platform for you?

'win32'
I've downloaded the executable file (py2.7 32 bit), maybe this fix has not been implemented in this build

Gotcha - fix wasn't applied everywhere. Should be fixed by #4031.
