-There are a number of different \function{popen*()} functions that
-provide slightly different ways to create subprocesses.
-\deprecated{2.6}{All of the \function{popen*()} functions are obsolete.
-                 Use the \module{subprocess} module.}
-
-For each of the \function{popen*()} variants, if \var{bufsize} is
-specified, it specifies the buffer size for the I/O pipes.
-\var{mode}, if provided, should be the string \code{'b'} or
-\code{'t'}; on Windows this is needed to determine whether the file
-objects should be opened in binary or text mode.  The default value
-for \var{mode} is \code{'t'}.
-
-Also, for each of these variants, on \UNIX, \var{cmd} may be a sequence, in
-which case arguments will be passed directly to the program without shell
-intervention (as with \function{os.spawnv()}). If \var{cmd} is a string it will
-be passed to the shell (as with \function{os.system()}).
-
-These methods do not make it possible to retrieve the exit status from
-the child processes.  The only way to control the input and output
-streams and also retrieve the return codes is to use the
-\refmodule{subprocess} module; these are only available on \UNIX.
-
-For a discussion of possible deadlock conditions related to the use
-of these functions, see ``\ulink{Flow Control
-Issues}{popen2-flow-control.html}''
