[Mne_analysis] static executables?

[Eric Larson]

If you're going to call system processes from Python, you're better off
using the `subprocess` module than `os.system`. mne-python has a
convenience wrapper `mne.utils.run_subprocess` that might be easier for
you. If you want to use subprocess directly, the keyword argument for
subprocess.Popen (which is the function wrapped by run_subprocess that
you'd want to use) has a keyword argument "env" where you can set your own
environment variables for it to pass to the subprocess.

It might be possible to compile static executables, but I'm not sure how
much work it would be (possibly non-trivial)...
