spawn problems on Windows 10

[raczben]

I develop/test it on Win10, with Python 3.7. I will try to test with 3.8, but I don't believe that this can cause this error.

The buffer (last 100 chars): is empty. This leads me, that the start of the program has a problem. Maybe wexpect cannot find the cmd executable. Please turn on the logging, and send me the logfiles.

Thanks for the reply. I have attached logfile from following shell commands: Import wexpect child = wexpect.spawn(‘cmd.exe’) child.expect(‘>’) These immediate produce EOF exception. [wexpect.log.log](https://github.com/raczben/wexpect/files/4714857/wexpect.log.log) I saw this in the log: pywintypes.error: (6, 'CreateFile', 'The handle is invalid.')

More info. Problem was seen on 2 Win10 machines, BUT only when executing in IDLE. Problem did not occur when running python from cmd prompt.

The most of the IDEs are not supported by wexpect. (Wexpect and IDEs create virtual terminals, which can disturb each other.)

Similar to #1

Some IDE becomes supported with v4.0.0, but I use wexpect in natively.
