[issue15451] PATH is not honored in subprocess.Popen in win32

[Richard Oudkerk]

Richard Oudkerk <shibturn at gmail.com> added the comment:

I think env is used for specifying the environment used by the  child process once it has started.  env['PATH'] is not used by the parent process to find program to run.

Having said that, maybe if you used "shell=True" as well then the shell would find the program using env['PATH'].
