I'm using 4NT as my interactive shell and it's fine. But as soon as a
script requires something more complex than an IF, I'm doing it in Python.

At least in earlier versions of Python, os.popen* didn't worked when the
script was being called from a service or a GUI program, as such
programs had no 'console' and therefor no stdin and stdout.
win32pipe.popen* fixed that.
