[New-bugs-announce] [issue7939] subprocess: call([arg, arg2], shell=True) vs call(arg+" "+arg2, shell=True)

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik <techtonik at gmail.com>:

subprocess.call([arg, arg2], shell=True)  is different from subprocess.call(arg+" "+arg2, shell=True)

The last one executed correctly, the first one fails on Python 2.5.2 Debian Lenny. Why these should be different? Seems like a bug to me.
