[docs] Issue with method subprocess.check_output(args, *, input=None, stdin=None, stderr=None, shell=False, universal_newlines=False, timeout=None)

Hi

I think I have found an issue with the method:

subprocess.check_output(args, *, input=None, stdin=None, stderr=None, shell=False, universal_newlines=False, timeout=None)

I tried this method twice with slight change one is working but the other not.

1st which is working

import subprocess as sub
temp_str=["ls", "-d","/home/xyz_dev_39/xyzB3BenchDec"]

output = sub.check_output(temp_str,shell=False,stderr=sub.STDOUT,universal_newlines=False)

result is : /home/prism_dev_39/xyzB3BenchDec

2nd which is not working


import subprocess as sub

str = /home/xyz_dev_*/xyzB3Bench*
temp_str=["ls", "-d",str]

output = sub.check_output(temp_str,shell=False,stderr=sub.STDOUT,universal_newlines=False)


result is Error: No such file or Directory


When I tried above cmd(ls –d /home/prism_dev_*/xyzB3Bench* ) manually on unix machine I am getting the result as 1st which is /home/xyz_dev_39/xyzB3BenchDec


Could you please check and let me know where or what is incorrect in second approach?

Regards
Imtiaz
