[issue6689] subprocess doesn't pass arguments correctly on Linux when shell=True

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet at bytereef.org> added the comment:

This is a request for changing the current behavior on Unix, and I
doubt this is going to happen, since it could break existing code.

On a side note, there are already two ways get the desired output:


>>> Popen("gcc --version", shell=True)
gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20080623 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-23ubuntu3) ...


>>> p = Popen(["gcc", "--version"], stdout=PIPE)
>>> p.stdout.read()
b'gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20080623 (prerelease) ...
