R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

I didn't run the script.  I have now, but I'm not clear from its output what 
each test is actually doing, and don't really have the time to figure it out 
from the code right now.

I think it is probably more efficient to just ask you what your suggestion is 
for making things more portable?

As for the docs, the docs link to the os.exec python docs, which explain the 
PATH semantics.  Linking to the Microsoft documentation would equivalently 
explain the Windows semantics.  An explicit footnote discussing the differences 
in PATH behavior in the subprocess context would probably be helpful.
