os.spawnv() is available on Unix in later versions of Python, so you have
two options:

* Upgrade to Python 2.1.1 (it's actually fixed earlier, but if you're
upgrading, you might as well get the best)

* Grab the os module from a later Python version and backport it to
1.5.2 if necessary.

Unless you've got a compelling reason, I recommend the first option.
