-The \module{commands} module contains wrapper functions for
-\function{os.popen()} which take a system command as a string and
-return any output generated by the command and, optionally, the exit
-status.
-
-The \module{subprocess} module provides more powerful facilities for
-spawning new processes and retrieving their results.  Using the
-\module{subprocess} module is preferable to using the \module{commands}
-module.
-
-The \module{commands} module defines the following functions:
-
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getstatusoutput}{cmd}
-Execute the string \var{cmd} in a shell with \function{os.popen()} and
-return a 2-tuple \code{(\var{status}, \var{output})}.  \var{cmd} is
-actually run as \code{\{ \var{cmd} ; \} 2>\&1}, so that the returned
-output will contain output or error messages. A trailing newline is
-stripped from the output. The exit status for the command can be
-interpreted according to the rules for the C function
-\cfunction{wait()}.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getoutput}{cmd}
-Like \function{getstatusoutput()}, except the exit status is ignored
-and the return value is a string containing the command's output.  
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getstatus}{file}
-Return the output of \samp{ls -ld \var{file}} as a string.  This
-function uses the \function{getoutput()} function, and properly
-escapes backslashes and dollar signs in the argument.
-
-\deprecated{2.6}{This function is nonobvious and useless,
-                 also the name is misleading in the presence of
-		 \function{getstatusoutput()}.}
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-Example:
-
-\begin{verbatim}
->>> import commands
->>> commands.getstatusoutput('ls /bin/ls')
-(0, '/bin/ls')
->>> commands.getstatusoutput('cat /bin/junk')
-(256, 'cat: /bin/junk: No such file or directory')
->>> commands.getstatusoutput('/bin/junk')
-(256, 'sh: /bin/junk: not found')
->>> commands.getoutput('ls /bin/ls')
-'/bin/ls'
->>> commands.getstatus('/bin/ls')
-'-rwxr-xr-x  1 root        13352 Oct 14  1994 /bin/ls'
-\end{verbatim}
