R. David Murray added the comment: Having reviewed this issue, I don't see any point to leaving it open. If any additional shell command helpers are added to the stdlib, it should be an ab-initio discussion based on what exists in the field, and start on python-ideas. But given current senti

Nick Coghlan added the comment: Bumping the target version for this issue to 3.4. There's a lot of active development in the shell convenience function space at the moment, including my shell_command, Vinay Sajip's sarge, Kenneth Reitz's envoy and the possibility of doing something inspired b

Nick Coghlan added the comment: Éric, to answer your question, with the planned version of the new API, a "*.py" value interpolated with "{!u}" should indeed pick up all of those files, since the wildcard will be passed unmodified to the underlying shell, and all shells I am aware of will acc

Nick Coghlan added the comment: After working on the documentation updates to the subprocess module to emphasise the convenience functions, I've now changed my mind and think it makes sense to keep these additions in that module. Now that the shell helpers will default to using shlex.quote()
