"filter" is used as the executable argument to spawnProcess - which is a string indicating the file to load the program from.  There is no file named 
'"C:\Python24\python.exe -u"' on your computer, presumably it's  "C:\Python24\python.exe".  (Remember that file names can have spaces in them.)

In other words, FilteredScript isn't going to do what you want if you need to add the "-u" argument to Python, either on UNIX or on Windows.  Luckily the one relevant method it implements is only 3 lines long, so it should serve as a good example for your own CGIScript-derived implementation of process filtering.
