Fred L. Drake, Jr. added the comment: It's not at all obvious that the intention is to ensure such an argument should be treated only as a command external to the shell.
If an application really wants to ensure the command is not handled as a shell built-in, it should use shell=False. Making this clear in the documentation is reasonable. ---------- nosy: +fdrake _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26124> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
