Split command when sending to subprocess.call on Linux platforms. #32

Closed anthonytw closed 9 years ago

On the Linux platform (tested on Ubuntu 14.04, but this probably affects other platforms as well) the subprocess.call routine expects the call and its arguments split in a list. Behavior when using the entire string is platform dependent (unlike when sending a list) and, in this case, causes an error when attempting to randomize the MAC. Behavior using a list is platform independent so should generally be preferred. This makes that change for the Linux platform.

Thanks! Published new version as 1.2.2.

I'm looking for someone to make this work on Python 3. There are open PRs for this, but I don't have the cycles to evaluate them. @anthonytw Want to be a maintainer and evaluate these PRs?
