New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>:

Using -b command line option, os.get_exec_path() always produce a warning. 
Example:

$ ./python -b
>>> import os: os.get_exec_path({'PATH': ''})
.../Lib/os.py:395: BytesWarning: Comparison between bytes and string
  path_listb = env[b'PATH']
['']

You can see such warning on some buildbots. This function should make this 
warning quiet because it is expected: it is not possible to check that a dict 
contains 'PATH' and b'PATH' keys without emiting a BytesWarning (see issue 
#9636).

Attached patch fixes this bug. It imports the warnings module in 
get_exec_path() function because os is a core module and it should not import 
too much modules. But... I'm not sure that it's the right way to fix this issue.
