I'm having trouble using the subprocess module on Windows when my command line includes special characters like "&" (ampersand)::
>>> command = 'lynx.bat', '-dump', 'http://www.example.com/?x=1&y=2' >>> kwargs = dict(stdin=subprocess.PIPE, ... stdout=subprocess.PIPE, ... stderr=subprocess.PIPE) >>> proc = subprocess.Popen(command, **kwargs) >>> proc.stderr.read() "'y' is not recognized as an internal or external command,\r\noperable program or batch file.\r\n" As you can see, Windows is interpreting that "&" as separating two commands, instead of being part of the single argument as I intend it to be above. Is there any workaround for this? How do I get "&" treated like a regular character using the subprocess module? Thanks, STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
