New submission from jaystrict:
When running subprocess.check_output(['doesnotexist']) as another user, I
expect a FileNotFoundError, but a PermissionError is thrown.
How to reproduce:
============================================================
[user1 tmp]$ su --login user2
Password:
[user2 ~]$ python
Python 3.5.0 (default, Sep 20 2015, 11:28:25)
[GCC 5.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.check_output(['asdf'])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 629, in check_output
**kwargs).stdout
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 696, in run

restore_signals, start_new_session)
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/subprocess.py", line 1540, in _execute_child
raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'asdf'
>>> quit()
[user2 ~]$ exit
logout
[user1 tmp]$ su user2
