-Subject: [PATCH] tests: pass all env vars to cmd-runner
-
-cmd-runner was started with no environment variables inherited.
-This breaks tests when run with custom PYTHONPATH, which is useful for
-testing botocore while not being installed in standard locations.
-
-One case when this is important is performing tests before installing
-the package in Gentoo Linux.
