R. David Murray added the comment: The "system default shell" (which should always be a /bin/sh workalike, I think) should always be the default. Any other shell should be something that has to be specified explicitly. At least, that's the way most posix programs work, I think. As Chris said, different shells can use different syntax, so if you want to write portable code you want to be able to expect /bin/sh by default.
So at a minimum we want a function for the system default shell. Anything else is a bonus :) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16353> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
