Hello -
As of the latest release (0.87.2), the _subprocesses error
was not fixed on win32, and after the use of the save button
on the toolbar, the figure was ‘forgotten’ in interactive mode.
I recall some discussion about these on the list.
I encountered these two bugs again this week while
teaching a python class. Have these been fixed in svn?
If not, any chance someone knows how to fix them?
Thanks again,
Mark
The subprocess module code has been masked in svn. texmanager.py and
backend_ps.py are the affected files. I dont know about the save button.

Can you tell me what the _subprocess error is exactly (Could you include the traceback or compilation log?) or point me to somewhere it has been previously described?
I've done some work fairly recently (perhaps after the 0.87.2 release) which I thought would have fixed the issue.
Sorry I didn’t give more details the first time; I thought
this was a known bug.
The error below is what one of my students got with 0.87.2, installing on win32 from scratch.
It worked fine after removing 0.87.2 and replacing it with 0.86.1.

It is a known bug and it's the one I think I've fixed[1]. As long as you're building from scratch, you might as well try the subversion repository. There's a nice Windows subversion GUI app called "tortoise svn", I highly recommend it.
Darren, there's no need to disable subprocess support because of this bug -- it should already be fixed.
