New submission from Dan Colish <dcol...@gmail.com>: The hardcoding of /bin/sh in the Popen _execute_child method can be a point of frustration when so many users are used to their chosen environment shell. The module can easily support the re-use of the defined $SHELL variable. I've attached a patch which gives one way of doing this. Before I get into writing tests for this, I wanted to float the idea of adding this feature.
