[From Mail to python-announce list]
I'd like to give you an updated status report of the popen5 project. Since my last post at 2004-06-04, this has happened: ... With these changes, the subprocess module now feels quite complete. In the near future, I will focus on getting the module included in the standard library.
I've recieved very positive feedback on my module. Many users are also asking me if this module will be included in the standard library. That is, of course, my wish as well.
So, can the subprocess module be accepted? If not, what needs to be done?
I would suggest to replace the _subprocess extension module by a Python implementation based on ctypes (and include ctypes in 2.4, at least for Windows). How many _xxxx.pyd windows specific modules do we need? Thomas
