When no env is passed as argument to subprocess.Popen, CPython inherits os.environ. Jython doesn't: >>> import os >>> from subprocess import Popen, PIPE >>> os.environ['FOO'] = "foo" >>> Popen("echo $FOO", shell=True, stdout=PIPE,stderr=PIPE).stdout.read() '\n'

As extra information, CPython uses os.execvp() when no env is passed to Popen. That's why os.environ is inherited.
