New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: 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. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 129905 nosy: haypo, lemburg priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Deprecate (remove?) platform.popen() versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11377> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
