Simple os.popen() call fails to compile on Ubuntu Linux 13.04 64bit

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A simpe script like this one:

----cut here--------------------------------
import os
print os.popen("echo Hello World").read()
----cut here--------------------------------

translates fine but then fails to compile with the following output:

/root/Work/space/eclipse3.8/Trial/src/snapper/cpuinfo/cpuinfo.cpp: In function 
‘void __cpuinfo__::__init()’:
/root/Work/space/eclipse3.8/Trial/src/snapper/cpuinfo/cpuinfo.cpp:21:46: error: 
‘default_2’ is not a member of ‘__os__’

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install latest shedskin (0.9.4 as of time of this writing);
2. Create and translate the above given script;
3. do $ make

-- What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is a 'Hello world' string appearing.
It does not compile, failing with the above given error.

-- What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.9.4 (latest stable as of this writing)
Linux 3.8.0-25-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 6 20:47:07 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64

thanks for reporting! I can reproduce the problem here.. workaround for now is 
to explicitly pass a second argument to popen, such as "r". we will fix this 
shortly in git.

Mark, thanks for your prompt reply! Yes, the workaround works. Your support is 
very much appreciated. Looking forward for the fix.

(BTW, I keep eyes on shedskin for quite some time and it now really seems to 
gain momentum ... Thank you for a great piece of software, keep up the good 
work!)
