Summary: commands.getstatusoutput()

Initial Comment:
when you run a script using 
> commands.getstatusoutput() 
I was getting sh <defunct> in the process list. 

Looks like the problem was because of 
>pipe.read() 



Following if the modification to the module commands.py
which runs without the defunct'ing the shell.
=============================================
def getstatusoutput( cmd ):
    """Return (status, output) of executing cmd in a
shell."""
    import os
    pipe = os.popen('{ ' + cmd + '; } 2>&1', 'r', 0)
    try:
        lines = pipe.readline()
    finally:
        sts = pipe.close()

    if sts is None: sts = 0
    if lines[-1:] == '\n'; lines = lines[:-1]

    return sts, lines
