[New-bugs-announce] [issue7021] subprocess.Popen doesn't work without "executable="

[Konstantin M. Khankin]

New submission from Konstantin M. Khankin <homecreate at list.ru>:

I'm need to call sendmail. So I wrote:
http://paste.org.ru/?imuoia
os.stat there is to confirm that python can have access to sendmail
executable
That code returned an exception:
http://paste.org.ru/?jbxadp
But documentation says, that I can write executable name with args in
"args=" parameter. But program didn't work until I wrote
"/usr/sbin/sendmail" both in the "executable=" and "args=" parameters
