[issue7950] subprocess.Popen documentation should contain a good warning about the security implications when using shell=True

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Since the other bug was about a different topic and was closed as fixed, I'd rather have this issue open.  What I've done instead is merge the nosy list from the other bug...anyone who is not interested can of course opt out of this one.

Christoph, would you care to suggest a patch?
