-r"""subprocess - Subprocesses with accessible I/O streams
-
-This module allows you to spawn processes, connect to their
-input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes.  This module
-intends to replace several other, older modules and functions, like:
-
-os.system
-os.spawn*
-os.popen*
-popen2.*
-commands.*
-
-Information about how the subprocess module can be used to replace these
-modules and functions can be found below.
-
-
-
-Using the subprocess module
-===========================
-This module defines one class called Popen:
-
-class Popen(args, bufsize=0, executable=None,
-            stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None,
-            preexec_fn=None, close_fds=False, shell=False,
-            cwd=None, env=None, universal_newlines=False,
-            startupinfo=None, creationflags=0):
-
-
-Arguments are:
-
-args should be a string, or a sequence of program arguments.  The
-program to execute is normally the first item in the args sequence or
-string, but can be explicitly set by using the executable argument.
-
-On UNIX, with shell=False (default): In this case, the Popen class
-uses os.execvp() to execute the child program.  args should normally
-be a sequence.  A string will be treated as a sequence with the string
-as the only item (the program to execute).
-
-On UNIX, with shell=True: If args is a string, it specifies the
-command string to execute through the shell.  If args is a sequence,
-the first item specifies the command string, and any additional items
-will be treated as additional shell arguments.
-
-On Windows: the Popen class uses CreateProcess() to execute the child
-program, which operates on strings.  If args is a sequence, it will be
-converted to a string using the list2cmdline method.  Please note that
-not all MS Windows applications interpret the command line the same
-way: The list2cmdline is designed for applications using the same
-rules as the MS C runtime.
-
-bufsize, if given, has the same meaning as the corresponding argument
-to the built-in open() function: 0 means unbuffered, 1 means line
-buffered, any other positive value means use a buffer of
-(approximately) that size.  A negative bufsize means to use the system
-default, which usually means fully buffered.  The default value for
-bufsize is 0 (unbuffered).
-
-stdin, stdout and stderr specify the executed programs' standard
-input, standard output and standard error file handles, respectively.
-Valid values are PIPE, an existing file descriptor (a positive
-integer), an existing file object, and None.  PIPE indicates that a
-new pipe to the child should be created.  With None, no redirection
-will occur; the child's file handles will be inherited from the
-parent.  Additionally, stderr can be STDOUT, which indicates that the
-stderr data from the applications should be captured into the same
-file handle as for stdout.
-
-If preexec_fn is set to a callable object, this object will be called
-in the child process just before the child is executed.
-
-If close_fds is true, all file descriptors except 0, 1 and 2 will be
-closed before the child process is executed.
-
-if shell is true, the specified command will be executed through the
-shell.
-
-If cwd is not None, the current directory will be changed to cwd
-before the child is executed.
-
-If env is not None, it defines the environment variables for the new
-process.
-
-If universal_newlines is true, the file objects stdout and stderr are
-opened as a text files, but lines may be terminated by any of '\n',
-the Unix end-of-line convention, '\r', the Macintosh convention or
-'\r\n', the Windows convention.  All of these external representations
-are seen as '\n' by the Python program.  Note: This feature is only
-available if Python is built with universal newline support (the
-default).  Also, the newlines attribute of the file objects stdout,
-stdin and stderr are not updated by the communicate() method.
-
-The startupinfo and creationflags, if given, will be passed to the
-underlying CreateProcess() function.  They can specify things such as
-appearance of the main window and priority for the new process.
-(Windows only)
-
-
-This module also defines two shortcut functions:
-
-call(*args, **kwargs):
-    Run command with arguments.  Wait for command to complete, then
-    return the returncode attribute.
-
-    The arguments are the same as for the Popen constructor.  Example:
-
-    retcode = call(["ls", "-l"])
-
-
-Exceptions
-----------
-Exceptions raised in the child process, before the new program has
-started to execute, will be re-raised in the parent.  Additionally,
-the exception object will have one extra attribute called
-'child_traceback', which is a string containing traceback information
-from the childs point of view.
-
-The most common exception raised is OSError.  This occurs, for
-example, when trying to execute a non-existent file.  Applications
-should prepare for OSErrors.
-
-A ValueError will be raised if Popen is called with invalid arguments.
-
-
-Security
---------
-Unlike some other popen functions, this implementation will never call
-/bin/sh implicitly.  This means that all characters, including shell
-metacharacters, can safely be passed to child processes.
-
-
-Popen objects
-=============
-Instances of the Popen class have the following methods:
-
-poll()
-    Check if child process has terminated.  Returns returncode
-    attribute.
-
-wait()
-    Wait for child process to terminate.  Returns returncode attribute.
-
-communicate(input=None)
-    Interact with process: Send data to stdin.  Read data from stdout
-    and stderr, until end-of-file is reached.  Wait for process to
-    terminate.  The optional stdin argument should be a string to be
-    sent to the child process, or None, if no data should be sent to
-    the child.
-
-    communicate() returns a tuple (stdout, stderr).
-
-    Note: The data read is buffered in memory, so do not use this
-    method if the data size is large or unlimited.
-
-The following attributes are also available:
-
-stdin
-    If the stdin argument is PIPE, this attribute is a file object
-    that provides input to the child process.  Otherwise, it is None.
-
-stdout
-    If the stdout argument is PIPE, this attribute is a file object
-    that provides output from the child process.  Otherwise, it is
-    None.
-
-stderr
-    If the stderr argument is PIPE, this attribute is file object that
-    provides error output from the child process.  Otherwise, it is
-    None.
-
-pid
-    The process ID of the child process.
-
-returncode
-    The child return code.  A None value indicates that the process
-    hasn't terminated yet.  A negative value -N indicates that the
-    child was terminated by signal N (UNIX only).
-
-
-Replacing older functions with the subprocess module
-====================================================
-In this section, "a ==> b" means that b can be used as a replacement
-for a.
-
-Note: All functions in this section fail (more or less) silently if
-the executed program cannot be found; this module raises an OSError
-exception.
-
-In the following examples, we assume that the subprocess module is
-imported with "from subprocess import *".
-
-
-Replacing /bin/sh shell backquote
----------------------------------
-output=`mycmd myarg`
-==>
-output = Popen(["mycmd", "myarg"], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0]
-
-
-Replacing shell pipe line
--------------------------
-output=`dmesg | grep hda`
-==>
-p1 = Popen(["dmesg"], stdout=PIPE)
-p2 = Popen(["grep", "hda"], stdin=p1.stdout, stdout=PIPE)
-output = p2.communicate()[0]
-
-
-Replacing os.system()
----------------------
-sts = os.system("mycmd" + " myarg")
-==>
-p = Popen("mycmd" + " myarg", shell=True)
-sts = os.waitpid(p.pid, 0)
-
-Note:
-
-* Calling the program through the shell is usually not required.
-
-* It's easier to look at the returncode attribute than the
-  exitstatus.
-
-A more real-world example would look like this:
-
-try:
-    retcode = call("mycmd" + " myarg", shell=True)
-    if retcode < 0:
-        print >>sys.stderr, "Child was terminated by signal", -retcode
-    else:
-        print >>sys.stderr, "Child returned", retcode
-except OSError, e:
-    print >>sys.stderr, "Execution failed:", e
-
-
-Replacing os.spawn*
--------------------
-P_NOWAIT example:
-
-pid = os.spawnlp(os.P_NOWAIT, "/bin/mycmd", "mycmd", "myarg")
-==>
-pid = Popen(["/bin/mycmd", "myarg"]).pid
-
-
-P_WAIT example:
-
-retcode = os.spawnlp(os.P_WAIT, "/bin/mycmd", "mycmd", "myarg")
-==>
-retcode = call(["/bin/mycmd", "myarg"])
-
-
-Vector example:
-
-os.spawnvp(os.P_NOWAIT, path, args)
-==>
-Popen([path] + args[1:])
-
-
-Environment example:
-
-os.spawnlpe(os.P_NOWAIT, "/bin/mycmd", "mycmd", "myarg", env)
-==>
-Popen(["/bin/mycmd", "myarg"], env={"PATH": "/usr/bin"})
-
-
-Replacing os.popen*
--------------------
-pipe = os.popen(cmd, mode='r', bufsize)
-==>
-pipe = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize, stdout=PIPE).stdout
-
-pipe = os.popen(cmd, mode='w', bufsize)
-==>
-pipe = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize, stdin=PIPE).stdin
-
-
-(child_stdin, child_stdout) = os.popen2(cmd, mode, bufsize)
-==>
-p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize,
-          stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, close_fds=True)
-(child_stdin, child_stdout) = (p.stdin, p.stdout)
-
-
-(child_stdin,
- child_stdout,
- child_stderr) = os.popen3(cmd, mode, bufsize)
-==>
-p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize,
-          stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, close_fds=True)
-(child_stdin,
- child_stdout,
- child_stderr) = (p.stdin, p.stdout, p.stderr)
-
-
-(child_stdin, child_stdout_and_stderr) = os.popen4(cmd, mode, bufsize)
-==>
-p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize,
-          stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=STDOUT, close_fds=True)
-(child_stdin, child_stdout_and_stderr) = (p.stdin, p.stdout)
-
-
-Replacing popen2.*
-------------------
-Note: If the cmd argument to popen2 functions is a string, the command
-is executed through /bin/sh.  If it is a list, the command is directly
-executed.
-
-(child_stdout, child_stdin) = popen2.popen2("somestring", bufsize, mode)
-==>
-p = Popen(["somestring"], shell=True, bufsize=bufsize
-          stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, close_fds=True)
-(child_stdout, child_stdin) = (p.stdout, p.stdin)
-
-
-(child_stdout, child_stdin) = popen2.popen2(["mycmd", "myarg"], bufsize, mode)
-==>
-p = Popen(["mycmd", "myarg"], bufsize=bufsize,
-          stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, close_fds=True)
-(child_stdout, child_stdin) = (p.stdout, p.stdin)
-
-The popen2.Popen3 and popen3.Popen4 basically works as subprocess.Popen,
-except that:
-
-* subprocess.Popen raises an exception if the execution fails
-* the capturestderr argument is replaced with the stderr argument.
-* stdin=PIPE and stdout=PIPE must be specified.
-* popen2 closes all filedescriptors by default, but you have to specify
-  close_fds=True with subprocess.Popen.
