New subject: [issue13196] subprocess: undocumented if shell=True is necessary to find executable in Windows PATH

17 Oct 2011

      New submission from anatoly techtonik :

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.
