Since commands.getstatusoutput() is such a trivial wrapper around os.popen(), why bother patching commands.py?

Greetings all,
I have attached a patch for commands.py to provide a callback ability. Example use: ------------------------------------- import commands cmd = 'top -b -n2' def fancy(out): print 'GOT(%s)' % out.strip() commands.cb = fancy (s,o) = commands.getstatusoutput(cmd) print 'OUTPUT (%s)' % o ------------------------------------- I am not sure if this is the proper forum or means to submit something like this, so please forgive me and advise accordingly if I am in error. The basic idea is obvious, to allow long-running commands to call back whenever there is output. This is against python 2.4. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. thanks!! -brad
