[docs] [issue10481] subprocess PIPEs are byte streams

Sam Kimbrel added the comment: I've created a patch that updates the docs to reflect the behavior of communicate() and check_output(), which is that both the "input" argument and stdin/stdout/stderr PIPEs will convert to and from strings when self.univeral_newlines is True and must be bytes otherwise. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +sam.kimbrel Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34834/10481-subprocess-docs.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10481> _______________________________________
