It would be good to add a test for this functionality, Other tests for the ffi module live in the micropython repo under tests/ports/unix you could take one of the other ffi_ tests as the base, and add example code to it. |

This needs to use builtins.open so that the returned object is a stream.

This _PopenStream object will need to implement read/write/etc operations, so that you can communicate with the process.
Eg prior to this patch it's possible to do:
import os
ls = os.popen("/bin/ls")
print(ls.read())
ls.close()and that still needs to work.
