For normal shell calls, python syntax is quite verbose. We don't need to punish ourselves like that. In some places we would fork a shell to do argument splitting for us. We know that our arguments can be safely split on whitespace, so let's do that ourselves in all cases, without forking a shell. We also expect command output to be valid text, so let's always set universal_newlines=True. This makes things shorter and easier to read. Development is also easier because it's possible to paste many of the commands directly to/from a shell.
