[Tutor] Which Popen For Win32?

[Hugo González Monteverde]

Hi, maybe you'll want to give a try to:

import commands
stat, outp = commands.getstatusoutput ("%s %s %s %s"%(zipCommand,
zipParameters, archive, fpath))

This will give you the exit code in stat and the whole text of the
putput in outp, so you may take a look at it. It's way simpler than popen.
