Avoid spawning console windows when running from .pyw - #126
Merged
Conversation
By adding `shell=True,` to the list of Popen parameters, we avoid spawning console windows when scripts call this method from a windowless (.pyw) Python script.

I didn't test it on windows either, but made sure a shell is only enforced on windows now. |

I'm developing a small background application (Windows + PyQt) to track Git repositories.
The GitPython module works great, but when called from a windowless script (.pyw) each command spawns a console window. Those windows are empty and last only a second, but I think they should not be there at all.
I saw it was using
Popento call thegitexecutable and added ashell=Trueparameter to avoid spawning those windows.Be aware I haven't tested this on other machines or operating systems.
