[New-bugs-announce] [issue33525] os.spawnvpe() returns error code 127 instead of raising when env argument is invalid.

[Mark Shannon]

New submission from Mark Shannon <mark at hotpy.org>:

>>> os.spawnvpe(os.P_WAIT, "python2", ["python2", "-c", "print 'Hello World!'"], {})
Hello World!
0
>>> os.spawnvpe(os.P_WAIT, "python2", ["python2", "-c", "print 'Hello World!'"], None)
127

The latter should raise an exception of some sort.
