I am not sure that I should see there. There is discussion of DOS, which is not supported, also some complain about Windows execv function, which deprecated since VC++ 2005 (which I hope also not supported). Can you be more specific? > This is a problem with Window's implementation of spawn*() and exec*(). > Note that on Windows exec*() is useless: it just starts a subprocess and > exits the current process. You can use subprocess to get the same effect. Are you describing Windows implementation of _exec() http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/431x4c1w.aspx or current Python implementation? > Just use subprocess instead which gets this stuff right. subprocess doesn't replace os.exec*, see issue19060 ---------- title: os.execv fails with spaced names on Windows -> os.execv fails with spaced names on Windows _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19066> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
