So... why were you giving me a hard time about it?

Portability, like optimization, is not always worth the effort. It's up to the programmer to judge whether it is needed. If your program is designed just to run a Windows executable, then there's little point in making things hard for yourself and using cross-platform functions like popen, when os.system will do what you want in less bytes of code and less effort on behalf of the programmer.

I fail to see the point of spending time to make part of a program portable, when it can only function on win32 systems anyway. It's utterly pointless.

Pretentiousness.
