This bug also breaks code that uses the subprocess module, e.g.: env = os.environ.copy() env['MY_VARIABLE'] = 'MY_VAL' subprocess.Popen(... , env=env) Fails on Windows 7 with an error that the environment can only contain strings. The offending variables are TK_LIBRARY and TCL_LIBRARY, which have Unicode strings as their values. I'm using Python 2.6.2. (The subprocess module should probably be fixed to use CreateProcessW and handle Unicode, but that's a separate issue).
