Matthieu Labbé <bugs.python....@mattlabbe.com> added the comment: I think this is a bug: The doc says "Availability: UNIX." but it is *available* under Windows and gives an unexpected error message.
I see several way to fix this: 1) Fix the doc: "Supported only on UNIX. Behavior on other platforms is undefined." 2) Make subprocess.getstatusoutput (and subprocess.getoutput) unavailable on non-supported platforms. (Same behavior as the 'os' module.) 3) Make these convenience functions multiplatform using subprocess.Popen. I think the best thing to do is #3. What do you think? ---------- nosy: +matthieu.labbe _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5808> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
