That sounds okay, since system() isn't actually a system call, despite its name. > And do we even need os.fork(), os.exec*(), os.spawn*()? Since fork() and exec() are directly wrapping actual system calls, I think they should stay in os. I'm not sure about spawn() -- on Unix it's not a direct system call, but it might be on Windows. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
