[issue9922] subprocess.getstatusoutput can fail with utf8 UnicodeDecodeError

[Ross Lagerwall]

Ross Lagerwall <rosslagerwall at gmail.com> added the comment:

getstatusoutput() is broken given that it doesn't work on windows yet it should.

I'd also recommend leaving the behavior as is and deprecating the function (and getoutput() while we're at it).

A related bug (#10197) also recommends deprecating getstatusoutput.
