That works but is non-trivial to get entirely correct due to
quoting. Using subprocess is much better because you don't
have to worry about quoting for the shell.  Os.popen and
os.system should basically be deprecated, but that will
probably not happen anytime soon because they are used a lot
in existing code.

I use os.popen because it supports non-blocking output:
subprocess does 
not, at least not without some additional hacks. I'm glad it
will still 
be around for a while.
