Fork() and exec() dont work

[blah@blah.blah]

i m using Windows XP, and by tomorrow i will have have fedora core
installed too. the problem is, when i use these "fork() and exec()" my
windows doesnt do anything, python gives an error about the module,
the kind of error when u know u r wrong.

is it because these commands work on linux?

if so, is it better for me to stick with fedora for my python programs
or use windows?

as documentation says:

fork( )
Fork a child process. Return 0 in the child, the child's process id in the
parent. Availability: Macintosh, Unix.

You can achive the same thing in windows by taking different approach,
but i would say that Linux is way more programmer-friendly (especially
Debian ;-)
