Content
subprocess doesn't support bytes for the "args" argument. - On Windows, subprocess._execute_child() converts args to a string if it was a list - On UNIX, subprocess._execute_child() converts args to a list if it's a string If shell=True, _execute_child() adds a prefix to the arguments. I don't know if subprocess should accept bytes in a command line. Attached patch fixes POSIX version of subprocess to support bytes. See also related issue #4035.
