R. David Murray <[email protected]> added the comment:
Ah, I did not realize that getstatusoutput was implemented using os.popen. I
thought it already used Popen. Now, in python3, os.popen is in turn
implemented using subprocess.Popen, so removing that level of indirection seems
sensible.
The question that remains is, does removing the {} change the output obtained
from a command sequence in any way?
Note that for backward compatibility you will need to re-munge the status code
into C format. Which makes me wonder if getoutput/getstatusoutput should just
be documentationally deprecated instead. (I never use them myself, FWIW)
