subprocess.run([“mkdir”, “-p”, path]) This does not work for all values of path. And I'm not just referring to blorgle's complaint. I'm being deliberately vagu

  Does `path = "$(rm -rf /)"` work in this context?

    No, because this isn’t being run through the shell, it’s directly exec’ing the program. So you’re just going to get a dir named “$(rm -rf /)”.

      It's funny how easy it is to miss characters with special meaning. In this case it's the slash. You would get a directory named "$(rm -rf " with a subdirectory named ")"

  You seem to be getting downvoted for being too vague, so I will post the solution: The snippet breaks for paths starting with a minus, as mkdir will interpret those as another option. The solution is: subprocess.run(["mkdir", "-p", "--", path])
