BTW, according to PEP 11 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/) Python 3.4 will remove code for "Windows systems where COMSPEC points to command.com". There are only winner: cmd.exe as well known shell good as default, command.com is gone. cmd.exe can be assumed as default shell as well as sh for posix platforms. About subprocess: I like to add something to point str (or pathlib path when accepted) as shell, but it's definitely another issue.
