replace usage of os.popen() with util.popen() To make this possible, I added a mode parameter to both implementations of util.popen(), defaulting to 'r' (as it does in the Python stdlib).

'''browse command output with external pager

To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable:

  [pager]
  pager = LESS='FSRX' less

If no pager is set, the pager extensions uses the environment
variable $PAGER. If neither pager.pager, nor $PAGER is set, no pager
is used.

If you notice "BROKEN PIPE" error messages, you can disable them
by setting:

  [pager]
  quiet = True

You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the
pager.ignore list:

  [pager]
  ignore = version, help, update

You can also enable the pager only for certain commands using pager.attend:

  [pager]
  attend = log

If pager.attend is present, pager.ignore will be ignored.

To ignore global commands like "hg version" or "hg help", you have to specify
them in the global .hgrc
