Command shell access within Python

[Janko Hauser]

I do not know, why the commands module is only specified or Unix. I
assume there were problems with the popen function on windows in older
releases of Python.

As is seems your change makes this working on windows I would submit
it as a patch on the sourceforge site. But as noted in this thread,
popen also starts a shell for each command, so it doesn't really solve
your problem, if this is actually a problem :-).
