At the moment I am playing with things like:
    p = subprocess.Popen('ls -l', shell = True, stdout = subprocess.PIPE)

I think that most of the times this are the values I want. So it would
be nice to overrule the defaults. What is the best way to do this? So
creating a function that is exactly the same except for the defaults
for shell and stdout (and maybe stderr).


It is a little less important as I first thought, because I found the
following:
    error, output = subprocess.getstatusoutput('ls -1')
    files_new = output.splitlines()
But it is still nice to know.
