 {{{
 def which(pgm):
     for p in os.getenv('PATH').split(os.path.pathsep):
         p = os.path.join(p, pgm)
         if os.path.exists(p) and os.access(p, os.X_OK):
             return p
 }}}

 That won't work on windows, where PATHEXT also has to be considered.

 There are probably other cases which it doesn't handle, e.g. the
 executable exists but cannot be run for whatever reason. The previous
 implementation (which will be reinstated today unless someone provides a
 legitimate reason not to) is robust against such issues.
