[New-bugs-announce] [issue8412] os.system() doesn't support surrogates nor bytes

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

os.system() doesn't support bytes, bytearray not str containing surrogates.

Attached patch uses PyUnicode_FSConverter, bytes2str and release_bytes in (the non-Windows version of) os.system() to support all of this. It locks the buffer because os.system() releases the GIL when calling system().
