Need a PTY that also takes environment variables ... hacking around it with script (which works differently on OSX and Unix) is ugly ...

• Status changed from Open to Closed
• Backport changed from 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN to 2.1: DONTNEED, 2.2: DONTNEED, 2.3: DONTNEED

It works already.

$ ruby1.9 -v -rpty -e 'PTY.spawn({"FOO"=>"bar"}, "printenv", "FOO") {|r,w,pid|p r.read}'
ruby 1.9.3p551 (2014-11-13 revision 48407) [universal.x86_64-darwin15.3.0]
"bar\r\n"

FYI, I have updated PTY.spawn's doc for the optional env argument.
