Jean-Paul Calderone <exar...@twistedmatrix.com> added the comment: It will return the former.
To clarify, it's true that there appears to be a problem with Popen(['echo', 'foo|bar'], shell=True). That is being tracked in issue7839. What's invalid is the report that list2cmdline() should be quoting strings with | in them. list2cmdline() is documented as being an implementation of the quoting convention implemented by the MS C runtime. That quoting convention does not require | to be quoted. It's cmd.exe which requires | to be quoted (if it is to be part of an argument value, rather than to indicate a command pipeline of some sort). cmd.exe quoting rules need to be addressed separately from the MS C quoting rules used even if cmd.exe isn't involved. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1300> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
