[issue8599] _execvpe behaves inconsistently when PATH includes a filename

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

The python functions are thin wrappers around the system calls, and are reporting the result of calling the corresponding system call.  The fact that the shell chooses to catch both errors and report a single one would be equivalent to, say, the cmd module doing something similar.  It would not be appropriate for the os module to combine the distinct errors into one.
