[issue25481] PermissionError in subprocess.check_output() when running as a different user (not login shell)

jaystrict added the comment:

I just found that a "chmod o+x /home/user1" fixes the problem in the sense that now a FileNotFoundError is thrown.
So I am very certain that you can reproduce this by making your home directory non-executable.

Could it be that python tries to access the "original" home directory somehow? For example to write to a pipe?
