This is only true when you are referring to directly executable files.

I assume that there is some difference how subprocess.call and

Well I've got a patch ready to go (which basically just
wraps a shell=True command line with an *extra* pair of

I'll try to put some time into the subprocess docs as well,

One more try (using popen instead of call is not necessary for these
