[issue1759845] subprocess.call fails with unicode strings in command line

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

I fail to see why subprocess.call(cmd.encode('whatever')) is not a general solution. Auto-encoding strikes me as wrong. Someone who wants that should write their own wrapper. In any case, 2.7 is out and closed to new features, while 3.x fixes this and numerous other unicode issues.
