Message 146379 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

IMO, both should be deprecated:

• they're not cross-platform Isn’t the purpose of this report to fix that? :)

• they invoke the shell implicitly, which subprocess promises never to do One could argue that it’s not implicit if it’s documented. Nonetheless, I agree that they don’t fit well with the subprocess promises.

So, +1 on deprecating and +1 on new, safer helpers.
