Is it possible to use subprocess functionality in os.system()? Just exactly describe what it does instead of "This is implemented by calling the Standard C function system(), and has the same limitations." type sentences. -- anatoly t.

The current text is:
The subprocess module provides more powerful facilities for spawning new processes and retrieving their results; using that module is preferable to using this function. See the Replacing Older Functions with the subprocess Module section in the subprocess documentation for some helpful recipes.
We could soften "using that module is preferable" to say "may be", or just delete that whole clause completely.
