os.popen3 delivers no error exist status ?

[robert]

os.popen3 delivers no error exit status on .close() - while os.popen does

Is this intended or a bug? How do I get the status?

Worth reading the rest of the documentation about these
functions, too. They are not just like popen.

As allternative you might want to try the commands.getstatusoutput()
method, it returns a tuple with the exit code and output of the command
you run, see http://docs.python.org/lib/module-commands.html
