Is it just me or does anyone else think the new subprocess module is making something fairly easy into something fairly complicated? There are an awful lot of options to the Popen call... subprocess looks like the classic example of trying to rationalise many simple things into one and in the process making it much more complicated. But I'm not using 2.4 yet so can only go by the module documentation. How has it been in practice?
