New submission from Erik Sternerson <e...@sternerson.se>: There are two new convenience functions in the subprocess module since Python 3.0, getstatusoutput and getoutput. These are UNIX ONLY functions (as per note "# NB This only works (and is only relevant) for UNIX." in subprocess.py)
I believe the documentation page http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/subprocess.html does not reflect this sufficiently (not sure it does at all). I suggest a note should be added saying "Availability: UNIX" to the two functions mentioned. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 78044 nosy: Erik Sternerson, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: Clarification needed for subprocess convenience functions in Python 3.0 documentation versions: Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4697> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
