Just to clarify, it looks like subprocess is intended to replace ALL
of the previously-mentioned commands, even os.system.  So in a sense
they are all obsolete.
Please see http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html for more information.

Also, this list is awesome.  Make much use of it.  There haven't been
enough posts lately!
