As far as I can see there is no pythonlib function to create a new process
that searches the path and returns imediately. The spawnv function comes
close but doesn't search the path. The Visual C++ runtime library supplies a
spawnvp function that is almost indentical but that searches the path, is
there any plans for including such a function in the library. As for now I'm
using the win32api extension module to accomplish what I want, so it's not a
major problem for me.
