[issue13196] subprocess: undocumented if shell=True is necessary to find executable in Windows PATH
New submission from anatoly techtonik techtonik@gmail.com:
The reason I ask is this changeset - http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/source/detail?spec=svne5d86b685619a470d59... - seems like without shell=True, subprocess.Popen is unable to find Mercurial executable in PATH.

Although they both touch the same components, they are completely different user stories.

It is hard to make sense of this without decoding your URLs, downloading the repository and finding the relevant commit. Anyway, what you have posted sounds like a duplicate of Issue 8557.
---------- nosy: +martin.panter resolution: -> duplicate stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed superseder: -> subprocess PATH semantics and portability
