[New-bugs-announce] [issue2438] subprocess.Popen with wildcard arguments

[Patrick]

New submission from Patrick <pbrandt at nrao.edu>:

When using wildcards as arguments to the processes being spawned by
Popen, it seems to interpret them as hard literals.

IE, when doing something like:
>>> import subprocess
>>> output = subprocess.Popen(['ls', '*'],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]
ls: *: No such file or directory
>>>
