Geoffrey Bache <gjb1...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: You misunderstand: I am not reading $PWD. I need to call a C program as a subprocess, which is written by a third party and which determines its current working directory by reading $PWD. os.chdir will not have any effect on this script, nor will passing "cwd" to "subprocess.call". I have to write os.environ["PWD"] = os.getcwd() in my code before it will work.
Not only that, but of course I have to know about $PWD and the fact that some people use it. Otherwise it just seems like Python isn't correctly passing on the current working directory. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4057> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
