[docs] [issue24998] docs: subprocess.Popen example has extra/invalid parameter

[Paul Clarke]

New submission from Paul Clarke:

in "subprocess" module documentation has a section for "replacing older functions with subprocess", specifically 17.1.4.5 "replacing os.popen", which includes the example on "return code handling", specifically this line:
--
process = Popen("cmd", 'w', shell=True, stdin=PIPE)
--

That 'w' shouldn't be there.
