That's a good question, too. :) I was thinking just in terms of supporting the status quo. Maybe two functions would be useful? (as suggested also by Andrew) I do think the question of changing Popen()'s behavior should be decided independently of this issue though. In other words, even if we change Popen() in the future, I think exposing the system default shell would still be worthwhile. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16353> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
