[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=svne5d86b685619a470d593aa5f9ee360ba60779bc1&r=323c6c697f045166e384cdc15803d40eebed0a2b - seems like without shell=True, subprocess.Popen is unable to find Mercurial executable in PATH. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 145664 nosy: docs@python, techtonik priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: subprocess: undocumented if shell=True is necessary to find executable in Windows PATH _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13196> _______________________________________

Martin Panter added the comment: 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 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13196> _______________________________________
