> "running an unqualified python and expecting a PATH search to pick up > the same executable as the parent shell would is not supported and may > produce unexpected results" CreateProcessW finds "python.exe" in __APPDIR__ before it even searches PATH. I expect that some scripts depend on this when python.exe isn't in PATH, or when a different version is in PATH. If subprocess implements its own search, it can continue to prioritize the *effective* application directory, from dirname(sys.executable). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38905> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
