[issue6490] os.popen documentation in 2.6 is probably wrong

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:
I am guessing the reason to keep os.popen() (albeit now reimplemented
using subprocess) is that it is a convenient wrapper for a common use case
and also familiar. I see no problem with this. (Indeed the big problem
was with the proliferation of popenN with confusing signatures.) So I
guess it ought to be documented and removed from the list of deprecations
in 2.6.
