Extract of the documentation:
----
15.14.3.1. Win95/98 specific
platform.popen(cmd, mode='r', bufsize=None)
Portable popen() interface. Find a working popen implementation preferring win32pipe.popen(). On Windows NT, win32pipe.popen() should work; on Windows 9x it hangs due to bugs in the MS C library.
----
Python 3 doesn't support Windows 9x/Me anymore: we should deprecate it, or maybe directly remove it.
subprocess.Popen() is a better alternative: it supports Unicode, it handles EINTR, etc. |
