Logged In: YES user_id=344921 Russell: What did you expect? Shells doesn't support that you specify an alternative executable, only the raw system calls do. Currently, if you use shell=True, the executable argument can be used to specify an alternative shell, if you are not happy with the default /bin/sh. I think this is useful. I must admit that this is not very well documented, though.
