This is why there are a myriad of alternative shell access APIs on PyPI.

Secure and convenient subprocess invocation is a hard problem, it will only
be improved by people doing the hard work of creating their own libraries
and iterating on them. It may not even be solvable cleanly without an
invocation syntax that only accepts string literals rather than arbitrary
objects.

Cheers,
Nick.
