C You Later

I have abandoned modifying _subprocess.c in favor of a path that will be much easier than attempting to pull out the parts of Mark Hammond's C++ code and converting it to C: Python ctypes. After importing ctypes, I can call "ctypes.windll.kernel32.PeekNamedPipe" to access the PeekNamedPipe function which is used in the modifications to subprocess.py. In C/C++ multiple return values are generally handled by passing variable by reference. In ctypes, this functionality is duplicated so I must pass the variables that I will need to get data from using the ctypes.byref() function and then parse said data into a tuple.
