This is just common sense. I'm trying to avoid a poll() busy-wait
section of code. I'll figure it out, but it would be much, much easier
if wait accepted a number of seconds, and returned None if the process
was still going (cf. Popen.poll() ).
I'm much happier with subprocess than os.popen*. I'm also glad that
Popen.kill() is slated for 3.0 .
Since this isn't in the 3.0b3 documentation, I assume this either isn't
fixed or planned? Are there implementation difficulties?
