Use the default shell to capture shell output.

Adhere to the user $SHELL choice when capturing output from system
commands.  This makes the getoutput() behavior consistent with
that of the system() interactive function.

     This function provides common scaffolding for creating subprocess.Popen()
     calls.  It creates a Popen object and then calls the callback with it.
 
     Parameters
     ----------
     cmd : str or list
       A command to be executed by the system, using :class:`subprocess.Popen`.
       If a string is passed, it will be run in the system shell. If a list is
       passed, it will be used directly as arguments.
 
     callback : callable
       A one-argument function that will be called with the Popen object.
 
     stderr : file descriptor number, optional
       By default this is set to ``subprocess.PIPE``, but you can also pass the
       value ``subprocess.STDOUT`` to force the subprocess' stderr to go into
       the same file descriptor as its stdout.  This is useful to read stdout
       and stderr combined in the order they are generated.
 
     Returns
     -------
     The return value of the provided callback is returned.
