Action._popen

stefano-m:
Hello,
I am using tox 2.0.2 and Python 2.7 on Windows 7.
As part of my tox tests, I need to run gulp and other npm-related commands.
To do so, I first run npm install and then e.g. run gulp that has been
installed in the node_modules directory.
The relevant part of my tox.ini looks like
[testenv]
whitelist_externals = npm
commands =
npm install
{toxinidir}/node_modules/.bin/gulp
When I run tox, I get the following error when gulp is run:
py27-win32 runtests: commands[0] | npm install
py27-win32 runtests: commands[1] |
F:\my_project\my_project/node_modules/.bin/gulp
ERROR: invocation failed (errno 8), args:

WindowsError: [Error 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application
The same configuration works OK on Linux.
I think that the problem lies in `Action._popen` in the `session.py` module,
where `self.session.popen` is called (line 216).
popen is run with the `shell` keyword argument set to `False`, and causes the
command to fall over on Windows.
Since I had already noticed that problem (on Windows only) in other places
where I use `subprocess`, I tried to change the value to `True` by doing
return self.session.popen(args, shell=(sys.platform == 'win32'),
cwd=str(cwd),
universal_newlines=True,
stdout=stdout, stderr=stderr,
env=env)
and that solved the issue (while keeping the default value to `False` on
non-Windows platforms).
