Can I popen a command with a spawnv alike interface?

[gradha at iname.com]

Hello.

I need to popen a command from a python script, and I will always be using
names which expanded at the shell won't make it to the called program. I
have solved this in other scripts using os.spawnv, where I can pass
directly file names to the process and know it will get it right.

Is there a way I could use popen giving file names as arguments rather
than all the command in a single string which will get it wrong due to
spaces and such things in file names?
