New submission from Ramchandra Apte: The following standard library modules use os.popen which is deprecated. These calls should be replaced with calls to subprocess.Popen . Ironically, even the subprocess module uses os.popen! webbrowser.py: osapipe = os.popen("osascript", "w") webbrowser.py: osapipe = os.popen("osascript", "w") pydoc.py: pipe = os.popen(cmd, 'w') uuid.py: with os.popen(cmd) as pipe: uuid.py: pipe = os.popen(os.path.join(dir, 'ipconfig') + ' /all') platform.py:# to cover up situations where platforms don't have os.popen platform.py: This is mostly needed in case os.popen() is not available, or platform.py: # over os.popen over _popen platform.py: popen = os.popen platform.py: f = os.popen('uname %s 2> %s' % (option, DEV_NULL)) platform.py: f = os.popen('file -b "%s" 2> %s' % (target, DEV_NULL)) idlelib/IOBinding.py: pipe = os.popen(command, "r") os.py:# Supply os.popen() subprocess.py: Execute the string 'cmd' in a shell with os.popen() and return a 2-tuple subprocess.py: Execute the string 'cmd' in a shell with os.popen() and return a 2-tuple subprocess.py: pipe = os.popen('{ ' + cmd + '; } 2>&1', 'r') multiprocessing/__init__.py: with os.popen(comm) as p: pipes.py:for the built-in function open() or for os.popen(). pipes.py: return os.popen(cmd, 'r') pipes.py: return os.popen(cmd, 'w') ctypes/util.py: f = os.popen(cmd) ctypes/util.py: with contextlib.closing(os.popen(cmd)) as f: ctypes/util.py: f = os.popen(cmd) ctypes/util.py: with contextlib.closing(os.popen(cmd)) as f: ctypes/util.py: with contextlib.closing(os.popen('/sbin/ldconfig -r 2>/dev/null')) as f: ctypes/util.py: with contextlib.closing(os.popen('LC_ALL=C LANG=C /sbin/ldconfig -p 2>/dev/null')) as f: distutils/command/bdist_rpm.py: out = os.popen(q_cmd) distutils/emxccompiler.py: out = os.popen(gcc_exe + ' -dumpversion','r')
