The subprocess module provides a consistent interface to creating and working with additional processes. It offers a higher-level interface than some of the other available modules, and is intended to replace functions such as os.system, os.spawn*, os.popen*, popen2.* and commands.*. To make it easier to compare subprocess with those other modules, this week I will re-create earlier examples using the functions being replaced.
