Nmap Development: Re: nmap error

[Vladimir Mitrovic <snipe714 () gmail com>]

Hello Tekk Tribe,

Thanks for reporting the bug. After googling a bit, it seems this issue was 
around for some time.

The problem is with py2exe's handling of stdout when a process is created as a 
windows process (as opposed to a console process).

 From http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Py2ExeSubprocessInteractions :

"Suppose you want to launch a child process that is a py2exe program. If you 
want to communicate with the child process via pipes attached to stdin or 
stdout, then you must make it a console process. If you make it a windows 
process, then sys.stdout is replaced with a Blackhole object that throws an 
exception when written to."

I'm guessing this happened on Windows, when starting the Zenmap executable, right?

Cheers,
Vladimir
