New submission from Patrick McLean <chutz...@gentoo.org>:
Currently when using python to automate system administration tasks, it is useful to drop privileges sometimes. Currently the only way to do this is via a preexec_fn, which has well-documented problems. It would be useful to be able to pass a user and groups arguments to subprocess.popen. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 336033 nosy: patrick.mclean priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: support dropping privileges when running subprocesses type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36046> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
