[issue6122] OSError: [Errno 10] No child processes

Yonas added the comment: Here's another test, taken from the docs: http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html#subprocess-replacements: This is slightly better than Popen because the program executes and shows output, but worse than os.system(), because it still shows the error: --
