Tim Golden added the comment: Under the covers, subprocess is calling CreateProcess so there's really not very much we can do here, short of writing our own PATH-handling.
As a matter of fact, passing shell=True will produce the desired effect. Since the only thing this does is to run the process under cmd.exe I assume that cmd.exe itself adds some kind of PATH handling of its own. I recommend closing as "won't fix". ---------- assignee: -> tim.golden components: +Windows nosy: +steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17023> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
