1"""Spawn a command with pipes to its stdin, stdout, and optionally stderr.
2
3The normal os.popen(cmd, mode) call spawns a shell command and provides a
4file interface to just the input or output of the process depending on
5whether mode is 'r' or 'w'. This module provides the functions popen2(cmd)
6and popen3(cmd) which return two or three pipes to the spawned command.
