This patch adds a new parameter to the popen2 library functions: a dictionary called options. This provides a way to add options to the calls and avoiding compatibility issues as in missing parameters etc. I have implemented an option called "pgid" which sets the process group ID of the spawned process. I really would like to move bufsize and mode to this dictionary too, but this would give backward compatibility problems.

Logged In: YES user_id=250749 Doesn't the subprocess module provide these facilities? I just wonder about the value of changing the signatures of the popen*() family at this point when subprocess effectively supercedes popen*().
