New submission from Bernát Gábor:
Although python27.exe.lnk is callable from any command line tool, with any of
its arguments the subprocess module thinks it's not a valid Win32 application.
Proof, let there be python27.exe.lnk be a shortcut to python.exe:
C:\Python27
λ ls python*
python.exe* python27.exe.lnk* pythonw.exe*
λ python.exe -c "import sys; print(sys.version)"
2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 20:42:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]
C:\Python27
λ python.exe -c "import subprocess; print(subprocess.call(['./python.exe',
'-c', '\"import sys; print(sys.version)\"']))"
0
C:\Python27
λ python27.exe -c "import subprocess;
print(subprocess.call(['./python27.exe.lnk', '-c', '\"import sys;
print(sys.version)\"']))"
