The Windows binary has been compiled statically, so it should not
depend on any environment or conflict with anything.

What about using the subprocess module?

Here's one example that I have here (from a unittest):

            null = open(os.devnull, 'w') # sys.stderr
            env = {'XAPIAN_STORE_DIR': self.tmp_dir,
                   'XAPIAN_STORE_KEEP_DIR': 'yep',
                   'XAPIAN_STRESS_ITERS': '100'}
            cmd = [sys.executable, 'setup.py', 'test', '-s',
                   'enfold.xapian.tests.test_results.MultiThreadTestCase']
            retcode = subprocess.call(cmd, stdout=null, stderr=null, env=env)
            self.assertEquals(retcode, 0)
