Skip Montanaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I've been thinking about it, and I think even though it would be a slight change to the API, I agree with Winfried that the default value for bufsize should be -1, not 0. In my own use of os.popen and friends, almost all the time I use them to process the output of a traditional Unix pipeline, which means the output will be plain text, line buffered. In those cases it makes absolutely no sense to read from the pipe one character at a time.
