R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Note that list2cmdline does correct quoting (which includes the "s) if you are passing the string directly to a program. In that case cmd.exe's metacharacters aren't special. (As I noted in issue 8972, I believe that list2cmdline's current quoting of '|' characters is in error).
Perhaps a canonical list2cmdline actually belongs in shutil? ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8987> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
