To further dissuade people from using subprocess.Popen's shell=True option unnecessarily, this patch points out that some common shell features are also available directly in Python via certain modules & functions.

Thanks, LGTM.  Maybe there’s a section about walking files in the os module doc that you could also link to?  Also shutil.

This is a nit, but can you adhere to an 80-character line length?  Much (but not all) of the documentation does.
