R. David Murray added the comment: call and check_call are designed as APIs that do *not* manage the standard streams of the commands called. If you want to manage the streams, either use check_output or Popen directly.
Internally, call and check call do *not* use communicate, and it is communicate that supports the input parameter. The better way to support input for call and check_call would be to implement the full proposal advanced by Serhiy in issue 16624 (and deprecate 'input' entirely). So, I think this should either be rejected, or turned into an enhancement request for Serhiy's proposal. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray, serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22712> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
