Make subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True) call shell

[certik]

I want to replace this code:

import subprocess as sp

def run_cmd(cmd, cwd=None):
    print(f"+ {cmd}")
    process = sp.run(cmd, shell=True, cwd=cwd)
    if process.returncode != 0:
        print("Command failed.")
        exit(1)

with an equivalent code that however calls shell to execute the above command, not cmd.exe. Currently I get:

~/repos/lfortran/integration_tests$ python run_tests.py
+ rm -rf C:\Users\ondrejcertik\repos\lfortran\integration_tests/test-llvm
'rm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Command failed.

What's the best way to do that?

Maybe this?

import subprocess as sp

def run_cmd(cmd, cwd=None):
    print(f"+ {cmd}")
    process = sp.run(["shell", "-c", cmd], cwd=cwd)
    if process.returncode != 0:
        print("Command failed.")
        exit(1)

Yes, that's what I would like --- but we need to implement -c first.
