The commands module has been removed. The getoutput() and getstatusoutput()

functions have been added to the subprocess module.

The fixer for this still needs to be written and proper Py3K deprecation
warnings for the functions that didn't make the transition need to be done in
2.6.

This is all part of trying to close issue #2872.

-Interface summary:

-
-       outtext = commands.getoutput(cmd)
-       (exitstatus, outtext) = commands.getstatusoutput(cmd)
-       outtext = commands.getstatus(file)  # returns output of "ls -ld file"
-
-A trailing newline is removed from the output string.

-Encapsulates the basic operation:
-
-      pipe = os.popen('{ ' + cmd + '; } 2>&1', 'r')
-      text = pipe.read()
-      sts = pipe.close()
-
- [Note:  it would be nice to add functions to interpret the exit status.]
