Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: In most shells $PWD is a magic variable that is maintained by the shell itself.
IMHO python has no reason to mess with variables that happen to be defined by some shells. If subprocess were to set $PWD, os.setuid should set $UID, and there may be other magic variables as well. ---------- nosy: +ronaldoussoren _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4057> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
