Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has seen this behavior before for the
process.py
module available at http://starship.python.net/crew/tmick/.  I've been
using it quite well on windows 2000 servers, but when I try to use it on
a window nt 4.0 box I get the results posted below.  I have both
process.py and which.py installed.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

>>> import process
>>> p = process.ProcessOpen("dir")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "process.py", line 1108, in __init__
    self._startOnWindows()
  File "process.py", line 1279, in _startOnWindows
    cmd = _fixupCommand(cmd, self._env)
  File "process.py", line 506, in _fixupCommand
    cmd = _whichFirstArg(cmd, env)
  File "process.py", line 315, in _whichFirstArg
    candidates = list(which.which(first))
  File "which.py", line 251, in which
    raise WhichError("Could not find '%s' on the path." % command)
which.WhichError: Could not find 'dir' on the path.
>>> p = process.ProcessOpen("dir.exe")
Traceback (most recent call last):
