Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment: So the issue can be closed:
- subprocess was rewritten in C on Python3 for good reasons: it's wrong (and dangerous) to run Python code between fork() and exec(); this bug report is another example. - This change is too large to be merged to 2.7. - There is a backport available on pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/subprocess32 Yes it's a distinct module, but it's possible to install it in place of the standard one if needed:: import sys import subprocess32 as subprocess sys.modules['subprocess'] = subprocess ---------- resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15005> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
