* [3.8] gh-114539: Clarify implicit launching of shells by subprocess ↵Miss Islington (bot)2024-05-071-2/+10

* bpo-42388: Fix subprocess.check_output input=None when text=True (GH-23467)Miss Islington (bot)2020-12-251-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When the modern text= spelling of the universal_newlines= parameter was added for Python 3.7, check_output's special case around input=None was overlooked. So it behaved differently with universal_newlines=True vs text=True. This reconciles the behavior to be consistent and adds a test to guarantee it. Also clarifies the existing check_output documentation.

* bpo-33319: Clarify subprocess call docs. (GH-12508)Gregory P. Smith2019-03-231-12/+13
| | | | | Clarify capturing or suppressing stdout and stderr on the old call APIs. Do not state that they are equivalent to run() calls when they are not implemented using run as that was misleading. Unlike run they cannot handle stdout or stderr being set to PIPE without a risk of deadlock.

* Update subprocess.Popen documentation wrt universal_newlines arg (GH-10337)Jakub Stasiak2018-11-121-3/+8
| | | | | | | | * universal_newlines defaulting to False would suggest, that not specifying universal_newlines explicitly and setting text to True should cause an error, which is not the case. * The run function didn't have the universal_newlines parameter documented * The check_output function didn't have its text parameter documented
* bpo-11233: Create availability directive for documentation (GH-9692)Cheryl Sabella2018-10-121-2/+2

| | | | Add "capture_output=True" option to subprocess.run, this is equivalent to setting stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE but is much more readable.
* bpo-19764: Implemented support for subprocess.Popen(close_fds=True) on ↵Segev Finer2017-12-181-6/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Windows (#1218) Even though Python marks any handles it opens as non-inheritable there is still a race when using `subprocess.Popen` since creating a process with redirected stdio requires temporarily creating inheritable handles. By implementing support for `subprocess.Popen(close_fds=True)` we fix this race. In order to implement this we use PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST which is available since Windows Vista. Which allows to pass an explicit list of handles to inherit when creating a process. This commit also adds `STARTUPINFO.lpAttributeList["handle_list"]` which can be used to control PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST directly.

* bpo-31756: subprocess.run should alias universal_newlines to text (#4049)andyclegg2017-10-231-7/+12
| | | | | | | | | Improve human friendliness of the Popen API: Add text=False as a keyword-only argument to subprocess.Popen along with a Popen attribute .text_mode and set this based on the encoding/errors/universal_newlines/text arguments. The universal_newlines parameter and attribute are maintained for backwards compatibility.
* bpo-22635: subprocess.getstatusoutput doc update. (#3398)Gregory P. Smith2017-09-071-7/+12
| | | | | The `subprocess.getstatusoutput` API was inadvertently changed in Python 3.3.4. Document the change, it is too late to undo the API change now as it has shipped in many stable releases.

* bpo-30420: List cwd parameter in subprocess convenience APIs (GH-1685)Alex Gaynor2017-05-261-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Partially clarify the subprocess convenience API documentation by explicitly listing the `cwd` parameter in their abbreviated signatures. While this has been merged as an improvement, it doesn't fully resolve the issue, as the `cwd` should also be covered in the "Frequently Used Arguments" section, and the fact these APIs pass unlisted keyword arguments down to the lower level APIs is currently still unclear.
