[Duplicity-talk] (rsync) backend modificatons

[edgar . soldin]

When working on it I didn't like the way of rsync failing without proper
error message because the STDERR was not captured in backend.py:run_command.

backend.py:popen doesn't do that as well. Therefor I'd really like to
introduce backend.py:subprocess_popen which utilizes the "modern"
 way to execute shell programs. Unfortunately this was introduced in
python 2.4.

My plan is now to change backend.py:run_command(_persist) into
backend.py:run_command(_persist)_legacy and to add new run_command
functions that conditionally use subprocess_popen for python > 2.3 or
stick to the legacy methods for python < 2.4.

Is this fine for you Ken?
