It's a relatively old Gentoo GNU/Linux system: Linux tamiyo 3.17.7-gentoo #2 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 23 18:13:49 CET 2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2640M CPU @ 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux The problem occurs when there are directories on $PATH which are not accessible. For example, I can reproduce this as follows: $ env PATH="/root" no_such_executable env: no_such_executable: Permission denied > Is the only test that fails? At least it's the only test related to posix_spawnp() which fails. ---------- versions: +Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35794> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
