Assuming there exists a Python subprocess-style library that supports passing in an environment object, we can replace this parameter with a callback that takes an environment object by lvalue reference. To adjust environment variables before launching a process, one has to pass in something like:

\[\](environment &env)
\{ env.insert\_or\_update("LC\_CTYPE", "C"); \}

By doing so, the environment would be both safe to mutate and has less chance to interact badly with third-party code.
