execveat() was added to Linux in kernel 3.19: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/execveat.2.html It may be interesting to expose it in Python. "The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem. The current glibc version of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed or otherwise restricted environments." http://lwn.net/Articles/600344/
