subprocess.Popen with a unicode path

Question

I have a unicode filename that I would like to open. The following code:

cmd = u\'cmd /c \"C:\\\\Pok\\xe9mon.mp3\"\'
cmd = cmd.encode(\'utf-8\')
subprocess.P         


        

Answer 1

>>> subprocess.call(['start', u'avión.mp3'.encode('latin1')], shell=True)
0

There's no need to call cmd if you use the shell parameter The correct way to launch an associated program is to use the cmd's start built-in AFAIK.
