PyHANDLE.Detach

int = Detach()

Detaches the Win32 handle from the handle object.

Comments

After calling this function, the handle is effectively invalidated, but the handle is not closed. You would call this function when you need the underlying win32 handle to exist beyond the lifetime of the handle object.

Return Value

The result is the value of the handle before it is detached. If the handle is already detached, this will return zero.
