Summary: popen3 on windows loses environment variables
Initial Comment:
see the following test code:
#test_popen3_1.py
import os
FILENAME='c:\temp\test_popen3_2.py'
os.environ['FOOBAR']='foobar'
print os.environ['FOOBAR']
fs=os.popen3("c:\python24\python -u %s"%
FILENAME,'b')
print fs[1].read()
#c:\temp\test_popen3_2.py
print "from test_popen3_2.py"
import os;print os.environ['FOOBAR']
Running test_popen3_1.py is expected to print out:
foobar
from test_popen3_2.py
foobar
But it doesn't print the last foobar. It correctly prints
out when run on python 2.3.
If the FILENAME is set to a relative path, as when you
are in the c:\temp directory and the FILENAME is set to
test_popen3_2.py, the code works correct.
Tests run on windows XP, SP1.
This bug is related to the cgi bug #1100235.

Now I got it. The reason is os.py in python2.4 has changed
so that the _Environ(UserDict.IterableUserDict) has lost its
update method -- there was on in python2.3.
To rectify the problem you just copy and paste the update
method from python2.3 os.py.

Oh, stupid me. The full path filename included '\t'. It
should've been escaped. Then the example code works with 2.3
and 2.4.
The real problem seems to be with os.environ.
I have reassured this problem exists on some XP SP1 boxes.
The test code is...
#test_popen3_1.py
import os
FILENAME='test_popen3_2.py'
env={};env['ENVIRON_UPDATE']='123';os.environ.update(env)
os.environ['ENVIRON_DIRECT_SETTING']='123'
cmdline='c:\python24\python.exe -u %s'%FILENAME
fs=os.popen3(cmdline,'b')
print fs[1].read()
#test_popen3_2.py
import os
if os.environ.has_key('ENVIRON_UPDATE'):print 'os.env.update
worked'
else:print 'os.env.update failed'
if os.environ.has_key('ENVIRON_DIRECT_SETTING'):print
'os.env assignment worked'
else:print 'os.env assignment failed'
Put these two files in the same path and run
test_popen3_1.py with python2.4 and python2.3.
Following is the result I got:
C:\test>\python23\python test_popen3_1.py
os.env.update worked
os.env assignment worked
C:\test>\python24\python test_popen3_1.py
os.env.update failed
os.env assignment worked
As you see the environment varaible that's updated with
os.environ.update has failed to get passed to popen3ed process.
This is the reason CGIHTTPServer.py fails to deliver
QUERY_STRING and etc. -- they are updated with
os.environ.update(env).

I've tried recreating this problem and have had no luck. I've
tried three versions of python: 2.3, 2.4, and the current
build version (2.5 something?). I've also tried both absolute
and relative paths. All tests print out the second 'foobar' just
fine. I, too, am running XP, SP1.
Any chance there's something special about how you are
running the executables? Say from a cygwin environment or
something?

Sorry. I got confused. When FILENAME is absolute, popen3
loses the environment variables, whereas it is relative,
popen3 works fine.
