Curly Braces in python Popen

Question

Running subprocess won\'t handle curly braces correctly

# Python 2.7.4

import subprocess
subprocess.Popen(\'ls src/*.cpp\',shell=True): 
src/tonemap.cpp src         


        

Answer 1

In your case, Popen executed correctly, error is reported from ls. It should give same error when you execute the command:

ls src/{t,p}*.cpp

in terminal.
