R. David Murray added the comment: Yes, the point of shlex.quote is to get something that is *not* special to the shell, and therefore safe to pass to the shell. If you *want* an & in your command, just pass it, don't quote it. quote is for *untrusted* data, like filenames received from a user.
Or better, don't use shell=True all. (list2cmdline has a different purpose, unique to windows) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27457> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
