New submission from Lenard Lindstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
subprocess.Popen.communicate is documented as taking a string as the
input argument. Instead is accepts only a binary stream (bytes).
Python 3.0a4 (r30a4:62126, Apr 3 2008, 15:34:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
>>> p = Popen('command.com', stdin=PIPE)
>>> p.communicate("dir\n")
Traceback (most recent call last):
