[issue18930] os.spawnXX functions terminates process if second argument is empty list

[Stefan Schukat]

Stefan Schukat <sschukat at dspace.de> added the comment:

@Batuhan the error does not appear anymore in at least Python 3.6.1
>>> import os
>>> nPath = os.path.join(os.environ["windir"], "notepad.exe")
>>> os.spawnv(os.P_NOWAIT, nPath, []) # or os.spawnv(os.P_NOWAIT, nPath, [], {})
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: spawnv() arg 2 cannot be empty
