That is simply not true. That's your opinion, masquerading as a fact, and made in the face of Steve Dower's description of at least one appropriate use of os.system. If you depreciate and then remove os.system, all you will do is force people to re-invent it, badly and inefficiently. > by remaining it must be considered redundant. And neither is that. os.system is not redundant, as its purpose is different from that of subprocess. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
