Changes

:#To demonstrate, issue the following:<source lang="python">

p = subprocess.Popen(['date'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)

</source>This function call and the following step is full of details we haven't yet talked about which is why it may look a little scary. By the time we're finished with the course - you will be able to look at code like this and not be intimidated. If you're curious and want to look ahead - you can find the definition for the [https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen Popen function in the Python reference manual].

:#This next step is going to communicate with the process and get the retrieve it's output (stdout).<source>
