I'm writing a launcher that should do the following: 1. Activate a .bat file to set environmental variables. 2. Start 3 programs, using said environmental variables as arguments.
However, I can't get the environmental variables to stick because all of Pythons' system start/open functions split off into their own little subshells, therefore the .bat file doesn't affect the main shell. How can I use the .bat file to set environmental vars from Python? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
