My *guess* is that since PATH is not in the environment you're
passing, the shell can't find the python interpreter.
Try:
from os import environ
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
env = environ.copy()
# Warning: override existing PYTHONPATH
env["PYTHONPATH"] = "C:/Documents and Settings/David Gould/workspace/
DgTools/Common/Trunk/Source"
p = = subprocess.Popen(['python', '-V'], env=env, stdout=PIPE)
print p.communicate()
print p.returncode

HTH,
