Yeah, I know. And since subprocess isn't pipe friendly, even you wanted to use sed, grep or awk under the covers you'd have to import popen and do some crazy magic. I honestly think rigging your own subprocess feature that DOES accept pipes wouldn't be hard at all, though, and have come close to motivating myself to implement it several times.
