Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: Richard is correct. From 17.1.1.2. Popen Constructor "If env is not None, it must be a mapping that defines the environment variables for the new process; these are used instead of inheriting the current process’ environment, which is the default behavior." (followed by Window note about SystemRoot.)
The paragraph about shell=True in 17.1.1.1. Frequently Used Arguments suggests that that might work (but see warning). ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy resolution: -> invalid stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15451> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
