From the line numbers, you are running the latest development version of the code... That error indicates that Windows thinks there is an invalid handle, but you should be using a process with an active console and so the following applies...

The CreateFile function can create a handle to console input (CONIN$). If the process has an open handle to it as a result of inheritance or duplication, it can also create a handle to the active screen buffer (CONOUT$). The calling process must be attached to an inherited console or one allocated by the AllocConsole function. For console handles, set the CreateFile parameters as follows.

Are you running inside a command prompt, or from some other program - e.g. an IDE or editor?

The errors appers in the python ide it seems to work fine in the command prompt.

Well, that's expected then. Most IDEs don't actually provide a real console session.

I've just updated the troubleshooting guide to cover more than PyCharm and so believe this issue is closed. Please shout if you think there's more required here.
