http://docs.python.org/lib/node528.html (17.1.1 Using the subprocess Module) describes the "env" parameter thusly: If env is not None, it defines the environment variables for the new process. This is too vague to be useful. If it's not None, what should it be? A dictionary in the style of os.environ? A sequence of name/value pairs? A string with some sort of delimiter between each entry?
