This is only true when you are referring to directly executable files.
However, Shell=True is also required when you want to "execute" a file
One more try (using popen instead of call is not necessary for these
cases, but I want to see the behavior of popen):
shell=True and executable and at least one argument with spaces does
not work:

Sure enough, passing shell=True -- which is probably quite
a rare requirement -- causes the code to change the

Note: this works for subprocess.call but for subprocess.Popen this
does not work if there are two arguments in the command line with
spaces. Especially, even after trying out many different versions, I
never managed to ge

Did you try the raw string, with the .bat extension? As in:

Hi,
I get
ERROR: ""C:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.7.0\bin\ant"" does not exist
If I cut the path statement here and paste it next to a windows XP command
prompt ant is invoked.
The python code here is
if not os.path.isfile(ANT_CMD):
error('"%s" does not exist' % ANT_CMD)

Hi,
I have some code in which I have to change some path names to get it to
work. The original code seems to have assumed that path names would not have
any embedded spaces.
I am not sure how to write the following line so when used in my script the
path will be found.
ANT_CMD = r'C:\Program
