Probably a bug I suppose. :(
I've used subprocess before and it works fine. I was just learning about the os
module. os.execl() works if you provide no nulls, for example:
os.execl('c:\\bin\\filename.exe','filename.exe','arg1')
Is there the place to open a ticket for Python developers? Who keeps the os
module?
