Hi Chris, > It's a bug: http://bugs.python.org/issue1170
Thanks for pointing out the shlex bug. My concern was that shlex had Windows specific Unicode limitations because of the way the Windows shell so poorly supports unicode output. > Kudos for avoiding shell=True My understanding is that the only time one needs to use shell=True is when they are 'executing' a non-executable file whose executable must be discovered via file association rules? Does that sound accurate? Malcolm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
