New submission from STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
os.exec*() functions doesn't support bytes if the program name doesn't
use absolute path. The problem is that PATH is used to complete the
full path but Python3 disallows bytes+str (which is a good thing!).
Example:
python -c "import os; os.execvp('pwd', 'pwd')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
File "/home/haypo/prog/py3k/Lib/os.py", line 328, in execvp
_execvpe(file, args)
File "/home/haypo/prog/py3k/Lib/os.py", line 364, in _execvpe
func(fullname, *argrest)
TypeError: execv() arg 2 must be a tuple or list
Attached patch allows bytes in os.exec*(). It converts each directory
of PATH using sys.getfilesystemencoding().
