New submission from anatoly techtonik <techto...@gmail.com>: For UNIX, it is said that if shell=False then you need to pass `args` as a list (if you want to pass any parameters to executable). Is that true for Windows (and perhaps other platforms) as well?
Again, for UNIX it is said that with shell=True, and args is a list - every item except the first one is an argument to the shell itself. Is it the same on Windows? It would be better to just give advice in `shell` parameter description to "pass args as a list with shell=False or else you'll lose params in Unix. If shell=True you need to pass args as a string, because list is needed only if you need to pass arguments to shell itself." ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 145662 nosy: docs@python, techtonik priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: subprocess: args with shell=True is not documented on Windows _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13195> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
