#1495 subprocess.CREATE_NEW_WINDOW only available on win32

[Alex Honeywell]

Hi, just upgraded to 2.5 on my iMac (python 2.7.2) and trying to run the Django debug server results in an AttributeError on line 1167.
The offending line is:
popen = subprocess.Popen(args, env=new_environ, creationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE)

I had to look in the subprocess module itself to figure out why, and it's because that attribute is only created in win32 environments. (line 443 of subprocess.py)

I fixed it in my own environment by changing it to this:
popen = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
popen = subprocess.Popen(args, env=new_environ, creationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE)
else:
popen = subprocess.Popen(args, env=new_environ, shell=True)

---------------------

I've also noticed a problem when trying to use pydevd.patch_django_autoreload()
If I run the debug server, then try to debug-runserver but the runserver command itself is never actually called (I can't access the website itself).
Howver, if I run debug-runserver with the import/patch lines commented out of my manage.py it runs and attaches fine (though breakpoints are not detected). If I then uncomment the two lines and save, it now picks up the breakpoints as well and I can do everything normally.

tl;dr: I have to runserver without import/patch, then add those lines in again to have breakpoints picked up.

I'm not sure if my changes above to patch_django_autoreload made it this way as I have no way to test it without the changes since the exception is thrown.

I just pushed a new nightly build with that issue fixed.

Take a look at http://pydev.org/manual_adv_django.html for details on whether you want to patch only the debugger or also showing a console out of Eclipse.

Please let me know if you still have some issue with this version (see: http://pydev.org/download.html for details on getting the nightly build)
