Berwyn <ber...@brush.co.nz> added the comment: I agree with the patch, and it works fine: /bin/sh -c "gcc --version" gcc --version
But I begin to wonder whether bash has a bug since bash only seems to observe the string, not the parameters after it. For example: $ bash -c "./printargs.py abc" def ghi jkl produces: ['./printargs.py', 'abc'] where printargs.py is: #!/usr/bin/python import sys print sys.argv Just something to be aware of. ---------- nosy: +berwyn _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6689> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
