Note: this is (sort of) related to Issue2633. http://docs.python.org/lib/os-process.html (14.1.5 Process Management). The docs for os.execvpe() say, "the env parameter must be a mapping which is used to define the environment variables for the new process". It's not clear if this mapping replaces the existing environment, or defines additional entries which are added to the existing environment. This should be clarified. This applies to the spawn*() methods too.
