Steve Dower added the comment: Here's an alternative to backing out the change, and it's simpler than I expected when I said it would be too much for 3.5.0.
We add an 'arguments' parameter to os.startfile and use that instead of subprocess.call(shell=True). The underlying ShellExecute call does not do any argument processing, so you can pass through any arguments you like. In the attached patch, I only added the argument for when Unicode strings are used, since byte strings are deprecated, but it's fairly trivial to add it to both. I'll add a backout patch next so they can be compared. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40375/25005_1.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25005> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
