Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment:

In most shells $PWD is a magic variable that is maintained by the shell 
itself. 

IMHO python has no reason to mess with variables that happen to be defined 
by some shells. If subprocess were to set $PWD, os.setuid should set $UID, 
and there may be other magic variables as well.
