Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment:

Users who want to use the SHELL environment variable can do so on their own by 
using it as their executable and constructing an appropriate command line.

Allowing an environment variable to change the behavior of a program that  
assumes shell=True is going to be /bin/sh compatible by default (as it has been 
for ages) is a bad idea.
