Description Jonathan Blandford 2004-06-08 21:24:55 UTC 
Currently, the g_spawn set of commands from glib aren't bound in python.  They
can be more useful than popen, as they have a more flexible API.  In particular,
the option flags and the child_setup command are nice.
Comment 1 Gustavo Carneiro 2004-07-04 13:39:02 UTC 
g_spawn is just a duplication of standard python functionality.  PyGtk's policy
is not to do that.  Python 2.4 will have a new improved popen API. See
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0324.html

That PEP covers everything I want from g_spawn.
