Just added (maybe could be redundant but provides more info) that os.system is behaving in the samme manner in Vista and Windows 7.

Also providing the info that os.system always gives the output in python command line (not to be used to retrieve output from a command, there are better libraries already informed to users at the documentation of os.system).

No big deal... just a small help.

Hello

I don’t understand “The output results of the command will be shown in python command line”. Are you saying that the output of the command will be sent to the interpreter standard output stream?

Note: please reflow your paragraphs to stay under the maximum line length.

Regards

Hello,
I took the freedom to refresh this patch, clarifying the first Val's addition (as requested by Éric) and reformat the whole system() section to wrap a column 80.

Regards,
Sandro

Looks good.  (Before committing, one space should be changed to two spaces after a full stop in the first diff hunk.)

Unfortunately, the rewrap makes it much more complicated to see what  the patch changes (i.e. the whole second part of the hunk only adds Windows versions).  Please leave that to the committer in the future.

Otherwise, committed in r85450; I also removed mention of the unsupported Win9x family.

Sorry about that :( I'll just leave a note on the tracker if the
changed paragraphs are in need of wrap (but I guess the committer
would notice anyhow ;) .

Thanks!
