Hi Since upgrading to Python 2.7, I've run into the problem that when I launch shell scripts (.e.g, *.bat) via subprocess.Popen (with False for the 'shell' option, mind you), the arguments get interpreted by the shell. For instance, the '|' character, no longer gets passed verbatim to the script. What is now the correct way to protect arguments passed as a list to subprocess.Popen? I tried enclosing each argument in double quotes, but subprocess in turn thwarts my attempt, by protecting each double quote with a backslash! For example, if I were to pass ['"|"'] as the argument list to subprocess.Popen, it'd be transformed like this: >>> subprocess.list2cmdline(['"|"']) '\\"|\\"'
