Huh. Next time, Chris, search the web before you post. Via a StackOverflow post, learned about distutils.spawn.findexecutable().
I remember I even wrote a patch for it, but I forgot about it already. Still feels like a hack that is difficult to find and understand that you need really it. In Rietveld case it won't work, because upload.py script allows user to specify arbitrary diff command to send change for review. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
