[issue8006] os.popen in Python 3.1

[Bob Buckley]

Bob Buckley <bob at buckley.id.au> added the comment:

I could not get it to open a write pipe. I am trying to drive GNUplot 
from Python. It worked OK in Python 2.x but does not work well in 3.x.
I have it partially working now ... I am calling subprocess.Popen but I 
cannot get a text mode pipe which is disappointing. I have not yet got 
my head around Python 3's byte vs string stuff.

regards
Bob Buckley
