------- Comment #33 from drpatnaik at yahoo.com  2008-10-02 02:12 EST -------
Re: using subprocess.Popen with shell=True/False (comment #27), while
'shell=True' works on Mac OS X, and probably other Unix/like systems, one gets
'C:\Documents is not a recogniz...' type of error in Windows. With
'shell=False', also the deafult 'shell' value on Unix, Windows works but Mac OS
X fails. So this should be cross-platform (works on Windows XP):

   my_process = subprocess.Popen(my_blast_cmd, stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=(True,
False)[sys.platform == "win32"])
