| On the second try it was much easier. For py3k I saw a post about removing defpath and some of its friends, with which I partially agree. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/e8072370bfbef398/a0215b5820f76c0e |

| 3.1.2 still has defpath and gives same erroneous result Patch is a trivial revision of one line in os.py. |

| The code is still the same in 3.3.1rc1. Is this an opportunity to get this committed as it's a one line patch? |

| Release candidates are separate from the main branch and only get critical patches selected by release manager. Changes usually reuire a new .rc. This seems to have fallen thru the crack between Brian and Tim. I suspect that the next line about (win) 'ce' is obsolete if still present. |

| This is, in principle, a backwards-incompatible change as any code will stop working which relies on exec* running useful tools in c:\bin. (I have a c:\tools which is basically the same thing). Frankly, I'm -0 on changing it; it does no real harm that I can see. If we do decide to ditch it, I'd only do it for the current release and not backport. |

| os.defpath also seems wrong on Mac (':') and Linux (':/bin:/bin/sh'. The extra ':' at the beginning means the same thing as '.:/bin:/bin/sh' which is probably a security problem. I just started up discussion on http://bugs.python.org/issue16353 (which may require a correct os.defpath). |
