If it's more powerful, then it can do everything the other module can. It'd be silly for the `commands` docs to point people to `subprocess` if this wasn't the case. It will take more than a single line of code though. Read the module's docs. Regards, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
