The commands module is not supported on Windows. It's kind of strange, because
the module is present, but it doesn't work.
>>> import commands
>>> commands.getoutput('java')
"'{' is not recognized as an internal or external command,\noperable program or
batch file."
Note the '{' - this is the unrecognized command. From the docs for command:
cmd is actually run as { cmd ; } 2>&1
which shows where the { comes from...
