New submission from Sridhar Ratnakumar <sridh...@activestate.com>:
Assume you have two executables in currect directory:
baz.exe
foo.bar.exe
Now "subprocess.Popen(['baz'])" will run successfully. But
"subprocess.Popen(['foo.bar'])" will throw the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
File "C:\Python26\lib\subprocess.py", line 483, in check_call
retcode = call(*popenargs, **kwargs)
File "C:\Python26\lib\subprocess.py", line 470, in call
return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait()
File "C:\Python26\lib\subprocess.py", line 621, in __init__
errread, errwrite)
File "C:\Python26\lib\subprocess.py", line 830, in _execute_child
startupinfo)
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
The workaround is to specify the full name "foo.bar.exe".
