[issue6689] subprocess doesn't pass arguments correctly on Linux when shell=True

[Berwyn]

Berwyn  added the comment:

I agree with the patch, and it works fine:
/bin/sh -c "gcc --version" gcc --version

But I begin to wonder whether bash has a bug since bash only seems to
observe the string, not the parameters after it.  For example:
$ bash -c "./printargs.py abc" def ghi jkl
produces:
['./printargs.py', 'abc']

where printargs.py is:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
print sys.argv

Just something to be aware of.

[issue6689] subprocess doesn't pass arguments correctly on Linux when shell=True

I think this should be documented more clearly rather than just rejected.  It 
keeps causing various people grief.  David Fraser's post would be good 
documentation.

Good point, Stefan.  In hindsight my issue was probably more with understanding 
how the sh command line works rather than how python works.

Ah.  I don't need to feel so forgetful, then.
