Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: I think Éric is referring to the foo(bar, *, baz=None) syntax. In 2.7 you can drop the '*' and still leave only the keyword arguments that you think are more useful. I also see that you converted a few examples to use shell=True, but afaiu that should be avoided (even if the input is trusted, it can be a bad example and lead to escaping issues). For the 'exit 1' example you could add a note saying that the example is run with shell=True because 'exit' requires a shell, or just keep the more verbose Python version. My concern is that many people just go trough the examples and copy/paste what they see without reading the text around unless it's necessary to make the command work, so, if many examples use shell=True, they might end up picking one of those.
