[issue16255] subrocess.Popen needs /bin/sh but Android only has /system/bin/sh
New submission from Ben Rousch: The subprocess.Popen function uses /bin/sh in Unix environments. Android is detected as a Unix environemnt, but has moved that executable to /system/bin/sh. This can be worked around by adding a parameter executable='/system/bin/sh' to the call, but it is impractical to do this for every call to Popen in every library and codebase. For subprocess.Popen to work on Android, Popen needs to be able to detect if /bin/sh is not there and try /system/bin/sh instead. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 173093 nosy: brousch priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: subrocess.Popen needs /bin/sh but Android only has /system/bin/sh type: crash versions: Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16255 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
