You’ll notice that in the list at the top of the functions that subprocess replaces, there are no os.exec* entries. subprocess is only for spawning new processes; if all you need to do is an exec, do an exec <http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#process-management>; subprocess can’t offer anything to make that any simpler. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
