doesn't seem to work with more complex commands with non-standard shells

[vikstrous]

I'm using fish shell.

This works:

> pacman -S python
error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.
> fuck
sudo pacman -S python
[sudo] password for v:

This fails:

> pacman -S (echo python)
error: you cannot perform this operation unless you are root.
> fuck
No fuck given 

I suspect it's trying to execute it with bash to get the output

thefuck/thefuck/main.py

Line 60 in 235b31e

result = Popen(script, shell=True, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE,

Is there a way to make sure it executes with the correct shell?

Currently, the fuck uses Python's Popen with shell=True, and it uses /bin/sh by default. If your grammar is incompatible with sh, it may cause problems.

I think one of the reason to use /bin/sh only is to have a unified output to deal with. see #98 .

There should have a magnificent way to deal with it. Hmm...

Closing this one for now.
