I suspect that you are getting environment variables set by py2app, 
rather that the user's raw environment.

Maybe it shouldn't be a subprocess -- what happens if you do a simple:

os.system("python setup.py install")

  you also may need to make sure the working dir is correct:

os.system("cd the/full/path/to/setup; python setup.py install)
