| For UNIX, it is said that if shell=False then you need to pass `args` as a list (if you want to pass any parameters to executable). Is that true for Windows (and perhaps other platforms) as well? Again, for UNIX it is said that with shell=True, and args is a list - every item except the first one is an argument to the shell itself. Is it the same on Windows? It would be better to just give advice in `shell` parameter description to "pass args as a list with shell=False or else you'll lose params in Unix. If shell=True you need to pass args as a string, because list is needed only if you need to pass arguments to shell itself." |

| Looks like a can of worms. For now I'll be pretty fine if this stuff is at least properly documented. |

| Certainly not right now as I don't have development environment setup. Perhaps in a few days if somebody pings me. It could be a lot easier with online editor, of course - http://code.google.com/p/pydotorg/issues/detail?id=6 |

There is better tool at https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/devinabox but I have only 500Mb left on my system drive and there are still more problems I need to handle. >> It could be a lot easier with online editor > > Would like like to work on this project? (provide an online editor) Do you mean would I like to work on it? Actually, I made a prototype on AppEngine that waits for JS guru to tune CodeMirror interface. If somebody is interested to help, I've just uploaded the code to http://code.google.com/p/pydotorg/source/browse/?repo=doceditor |

| I think the documentation changes made for Issue 16115 should address your first question (shell=False). For shell=True, see the discussion at Issue 20344. Perhaps you can review my patch. |
