Hi. Assuming you are running on Linux,
I would start at the command line and make sure your vw command executes correctly.

Next, in IPython and try doing the subprocess call without the environment modification and without the vw command, try a simple bash command.

import subprocess
simpleCommand = ("ls -l").split(' ')
subprocess.call(simpleCommand)

Also, if you have not recompiled the vw tool, you can remove the environmentDict from the subprocess call entirely.

Good Luck !

I once had a suspicion that it was the case. The job posting asked to solve a problem and submit the solution, prior to getting the interview. What I did instead was built a webpage which allowed to submit arbitrary data and test my solution. As an added bonus I got a notification whenever anyone accessed the page.

The ad was legit. When I arrived for the interview the first question was "When can you start?"

Best job I've ever had.

Maybe you should send the company an invoice for one day of consulting services and hint that otherwise you'll publish their name.

Sounds very cool. It would be nice to see more details on the techniques used.
