I've heard anecdotal evidence that native Windows Python has issues running subprocesses if you remove the Windows system directories from PATH in the subprocess call. I think that's unrelated to Python because it affects the called subprocess, but it may be Windows native code only. I don't have any details, though, so the above isn't much help. I think there was a fix to Python to always ensure the Windows system directories were in PATH when calling subprocess.Popen - if someone could find the tracker issue for that, I believe there was an explanation in there of why it was needed.
