The documentation doesn't say, but if it's anything like the Unix popen() function, with mode='r' the returned file-like object will correspond to the child's stdout, but error messages will normally be written to stderr. In any case, os.popen() and similar are deprecated in favour of subprocess.Popen(). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
