Ned Jackson Lovely added the comment: Hi Luke,
I've prepared two versions of this test. The first, issue5051-take2.diff, retains the environ.clear(), but saves and sets COMSPEC and PATH in the same update call as the "HELLO" variable. The second, and in my opinion more reasonable test, makes sure that "HELLO" isn't already set, sets it using update, then makes sure it is set properly. In both cases, the currently running python executable, fetched via sys.executable and run using os.popen, is used to print the value, instead of the shell's echo. This moves things closer towards cross-platform niceness, and removes the dependency on /bin/sh. Unfortunately, I don't have a Windows machine readily available to test this on. Could apply your preferred patch, run it for me, and let me know if you have any problems?
