| There are two new convenience functions in the subprocess module since Python 3.0, getstatusoutput and getoutput. These are UNIX ONLY functions (as per note "# NB This only works (and is only relevant) for UNIX." in subprocess.py) I believe the documentation page http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/subprocess.html does not reflect this sufficiently (not sure it does at all). I suggest a note should be added saying "Availability: UNIX" to the two functions mentioned. | ||

| I think "Availability: UNIX" is incorrect: it is *available* under Windows and gives an unexpected error message. See http://bugs.python.org/issue5808#msg110424 | ||

| Well, "available" in this case can also mean that it doesn't work. |
