New submission from Tim Golden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The subprocess.Popen function reorganises the command line for process creation when shell=True is passed in under Windows. It runs the existing executable & arguments as arguments to %COMSPEC% /c. However this fails when a second parameter (typically a filename) has an embedded space. The patch attached adds extra parameters in this case and adds appropriate unit tests.
Frankly I'm new to unittests and I more-or-less cloned an existing one to make this work. Happy to be corrected if there's things done wrong &c. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: subprocess-r61420.patch keywords: patch messages: 63583 nosy: tim.golden severity: normal status: open title: subprocess under windows fails to quote properly under Windows when shell=True type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9682/subprocess-r61420.patch __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2304> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
