I find different measurements om Windows/XP: I copied the script and ran it under Python 2.5.2 and Python 2.6 (as downloaded from http://python.org/ftp/python/2.6/python-2.6.msi): [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/e/tmp $ python ./timing.py # 2.5.2 time with os.popen : 0.296999931335 time with subprocess.Popen : 0.203000068665 in other words: identical or subprocess.Popen even faster. and it is getting even better with Python2.6: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/e/tmp $ python26 timing.py # 2.6 time with os.popen : 0.266000032425 time with subprocess.Popen : 0.18700003624 So could that be a Mac OS issue? ---------- nosy: +wplappert _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4194> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
