New submission from Chris Rebert: Since these functions run shell commands, which is a common vector for security-related bugs (see * http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/78.html * http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/88.html ), I suggest that they should have security warning boxes analogous to the one for the `subprocess` module: https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#frequently-used-arguments
