I'll note that my impression is that Peter's module is not aiming to
be particularly innovative in terms of implementation, it's primary
"feature" is having a decent API. And my impression is that it has
been well received on c.l.py (for instance, I often see it recommended
in response to newbie questions). He got a lot of input during the PEP
process and tried to incorporate it.

Last time I tried it there were still a few windows issues (docs say
these have been resolved), but I thought the API was well-designed.
And popen2 isn't.
