Ken, thanks for the patch! To be considered for Python 2.6, this patch would have to update documentation (Doc/lib) and tests (Lib/test) as well. But more importantly: This entire module is likely to be deprecated in Python 2.6, in favor of the subprocess module (which will gain new functions, subprocess.get_output() and subprocess.get_status_output().) There was a long discussion about it on python-dev: (start of a long thread) http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-March/071929.html (even more) http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-March/072046.html If that happens, there's no particular reason to do this, right?
