[issue9265] Incorrect name passed as arg[0] when shell=True and executable specified

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Stephan: that might be a cleaner API, rather than overloading the semantics of 'executable'.  But that would be a separate feature request.

I see what you are saying about "just the name".  I misread Éric's message as saying he'd confirmed the bug, but I guess he's saying he confirmed that it works as documented.

It does look like subprocess lacks a test for this case.
