The reason I ask is this changeset - http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/source/detail?spec=svne5d86b685619a470d593aa5f9ee360ba60779bc1&r=323c6c697f045166e384cdc15803d40eebed0a2b - seems like without shell=True, subprocess.Popen is unable to find Mercurial executable in PATH.

Can't you merge this issue with #13195?

Although they both touch the same components, they are completely different user stories.

It is hard to make sense of this without decoding your URLs, downloading the repository and finding the relevant commit. Anyway, what you have posted sounds like a duplicate of Issue 8557.
