You are getting the raw shell output, it's just that subprocess uses
the default shell (/bin/sh) and not your personal shell. Try running
/bin/sh and run the set|grep command.
I can't see any obvious way to ask subprocess to use a shell other than
the default.
If you need a particular shell, you could use a shell script, e.g.
myscript.sh:
#!/bin/bash
set|grep IFS
and call that with shell=False
p = sub.Popen('/path/to/myscript.sh', stdout=sub.PIPE)
