\section{Standard Module \module{popen2}}
\label{module-popen2}
\stmodindex{popen2}
This module allows you to spawn processes and connect their
input/output/error pipes and obtain their return codes.
The primary interface offered by this module is a pair of factory
functions:
\begin{funcdesc}{popen2}{cmd\optional{, bufsize}}
Executes \var{cmd} as a sub-process. If \var{bufsize} is specified,
it specifies the buffer size for the I/O pipes. Returns
\code{(\var{child_stdout}, \var{child_stdin})}.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{popen2}{cmd\optional{, bufsize}}
Executes \var{cmd} as a sub-process. If \var{bufsize} is specified,
it specifies the buffer size for the I/O pipes. Returns
\code{(\var{child_stdout}, \var{child_stdin}, \var{child_stderr})}.
\end{funcdesc}
The class defining the objects returned by the factory functions is
also available:
\begin{classdesc}{Popen3}{cmd\optional{, capturestderr\optional{, bufsize}}}
This class represents a child process. Normally, \class{Popen3}
instances are created using the factory functions described above.
If not using one off the helper functions to create \class{Popen3}
objects, the parameter \var{cmd} is the shell command to execute in a
sub-process. The \var{capturestderr} flag, if true, specifies that
the object should capture standard error output of the child process.
The default is false. If the \var{bufsize} parameter is specified, it
specifies the size of the I/O buffers to/from the child process.
\end{classdesc}
\subsection{Popen3 Objects}
\label{popen3-objects}
Instances of the \class{Popen3} class have the following methods:
\begin{methoddesc}{poll}{}
Returns \code{-1} if child process hasn't completed yet, or its return
code otherwise.
\end{methoddesc}
\begin{methoddesc}{wait}{}
Waits for and returns the return code of the child process.
\end{methoddesc}
The following attributes of \class{Popen3} objects are also available:
\begin{datadesc}{fromchild}
A file object that provides output from the child process.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{datadesc}{tochild}
A file object that provides input to the child process.
\end{datadesc}
\begin{datadesc}{childerr}
Where the standard error from the child process goes is
\var{capturestderr} was true for the constructor, or \code{None}.
\end{datadesc}
