Hi,

I am using Python 3.2.3 on Windows XP. I encountered a problem with 
subprocess.call when using the cwd parameter. I used Google to look for a 
solution and I found this issue in Python tracker. But this issue seems 
absolutely reversed!

The subprocess documentation says this: "In particular, the function looks for 
executable (or for the first item in args) relative to cwd if the executable 
path is a relative path." But this is NOT true. If I use the path relative to 
cwd, I get Windows Error 2 (system cannot find the file). If I change the 
executable's path to be relative to the current directory, where the script is 
running (i.e. NOT the cwd parameter passed to subprocess.call), it works fine.
