subprocess problem on WinXP

[Wolfgang]

Hi Simon,

I did not know that library! I'm still new to python and I still have 
problems to find the right commands.

But I suppose this library is mainly for partially 
compressing/decompressing of files. How can I use that library to 
compress/decompress full files without reading them into memory? And 
what about performance?

Thanks
Wolfgang
