[New-bugs-announce] [issue27273] subprocess.run(cmd, input='text') should pass universal_newlines=True to Popen

[Akira Li]

New submission from Akira Li:

At the moment, subprocess.run(cmd, input='text') raises TypeError.
It would be nice if universal_newlines=isinstance(input, str) if *input* is set.

I've attached a corresponding patch with the necessary changes to the docs, tests and the subprocess.run() code.
