起源：
所下载视频，有音视频分离者，需要合并起来，采用python之subprocess.Popen()调用ffmpeg实现。python版本为2.7.13，而音视频文件路径，有unicode字符者，合并失败。
此问题由来已久，终于不忍受，用尽工夫寻其机现，终于寻得蛛丝蚂迹，完成其修复。
其原因为：python 2.7.x中subprocess.Popen()函数，最终调用了kernel32.dll中的CreateProcess函数Ansi版本CreateProcessA，传非Ansi参数给它会被它拒绝，而触发异常。
测试代码如下：
# encoding: utf-8 from __future__ import unicode_literals import subprocess file_path = r'D:\Percy Faith [CA US] by chkjns ♫ 175 songs\v.txt' args = u'notepad "%s"' % file_path try: p = subprocess.Popen(args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) stdout, stderr = p.communicate() if p.returncode != 0: stderr = stderr.decode('utf-8', 'replace') print stderr except Exception as e: print e.message
其异常为UnicodeEncodeError，表现字串为：'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u266b' in position 42: ordinal not in range(128)
1、Python 2.x先天缺陷
此问题百度不到有效答案，于是上stackoverlow，一路摸去，找到了python官方对此bug描述，其链接如下：
Issue 19264: subprocess.Popen doesn't support unicode on Windows - Python tracker
七嘴八舌众说纷纭，但总算大致捋清原委，即上述其调用了Ansi版本的CreateProcess所致。循此原因，是否替换为Unicode函数CreateProcessW即可？

给出了折中方案，其方案即如所思，做函数层替换。
2、win_subprocess.py
Valentin LAB这哥们，就在github上开放了源码，解决此问题。其核心为win_subprocess.py，内容如下：
(其代码中有用os，他却忘记import，贴代码时已做修正)

3、使用方法
若已在.py文件中引入unicode标记(建议自有项目，皆加以unicode支持)：
from __future__ import unicode_literals
那么，直接import win_subprocess就行，其代码中，已以自定义CreateProcess替换了_subprocess.CreateProcess同名函数。
当然，也可直接以win_subprocess.Popen()调用。
但是，经过验证，直接引用win_subprocess就能很好工作了，因此推荐直接引过去就行。
