Summary: commands module
Initial Comment:
In reference to the commands module, and it's simple self :-)
Current comments in the module state the following:
# Module 'commands'
#
# Various tools for executing commands and looking at their output and status.
#
# NB This only works (and is only relevant) for UNIX.
Ultimately, I would like to see the following:
1) This comment removed:
# NB This only works (and is only relevant) for UNIX.
1) A change to getstatusoutput along these lines:
if os.name == 'nt':
pipe = os.popen(cmd + ' 2>&1','r')
else:
pipe = os.popen('{ ' + cmd + '; } 2>&1', 'r')
* I was going to suggest having a more pythonic getstatus method, that would
act reasonably similar across platforms (maybe using some combination of
os.listdir and os.stat or something), however, it is being deprecated, so
onward!

Recent discussions in one of the python development lists has basically
stated that the commands module will be deprecated in favor of being
replaced by equivalent platform independent versions based on subprocess,
which will be placed in the subprocess module. As such, it is doubtful
that your request will be fulfilled. Suggested close as 'wont fix'.
