[New-bugs-announce] [issue24793] Calling 'python' via subprocess.call ignoring passed %PATH%

[Gregor]

New submission from Gregor:

I just noticed that there is a litte inconvenience when I try to invoke 'python' via subprocess.call passing an environment (%PATH%) from a script. I pass an environment where %PATH% only contains one directory where a python2.7.3-exe is present (I checked with "subprocess.call(['where','python'],env=environment)" that python is found there). However when calling "subprocess.call(['python'],env=environment)" python 2.7.9 is opened, which is the python version I called the script with. Seems inconvenient to me.

Greetings
