[Scons-dev] Strange behavior of env.Execute(python script) on Windows

[Alexandre Feblot]

Hi,
Would any of you have an idea on the behavior of printpath.py in the small
test below? What happens to the PATH? Other variables are transfered
properly. The similar perl test shows the PATH as expected.

Sconstruct:
env = Environment()
env['ENV']['PATH'] += ';C:\\XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
env.Execute(File('#/printpath.py').abspath)
env.Execute(File('#/printpath.pl').abspath)

printpath.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "$ENV{PATH}\n";

printpath.py:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
print os.environ['PATH']

On windows (server 2008R2), with python 2.7.2, the result is:
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
