> Dropping this into Lib/multiprocessing/spawn.py should cause a repro: if WINSERVICE: _python_exe = os.path.join(sys.exec_prefix, 'python.exe') else: _python_exe = getattr(sys, '_base_executable', sys.executable) In this case, spawn.get_executable() will return (sys._base_executable), and `env` will be set to None anyways no? (see these lines: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/9008be303a89bfab8c3314c6a42330b5523adc8b/Lib/multiprocessing/popen_spawn_win32.py#L59-L68) We need to trigger the if clause of these lines instead, which happens by default in a virtual env -- this is why it is so troubling: even though a very simple case (launching a new process from within a virtualenv) should trigger a bug, it does not. > And maybe submit a PR with the fix? Will do. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38092> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
