It looks like the python-mode in my emacs does the right thing. You
could add something like below in your .emacs file:

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
          #'(lambda ()
              (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)))

Otherwise, select the whole buffer and do a "M-x untabify".

But the manual says that it is not possible to get the exit code of the
child process with popen2 (at least not in python 2.3). You would need
to use the Popen3 and Popen4 classes in the popen2 module.

Does it make that big difference if the commands are invoked via the
shell? I haven't run any tests.

I'd like this too and it's probably OK with a low traffic (we'll see if
we receive complaints :-) ).
