Description

After a clean install of pyperformance, run the below command:

HAHA=1 pyperformance run -f --debug-single-value --inherit-environ HAHA -b 2to3

The output received is:

[...]
[1/1] 2to3...
INFO:root:Running `$PATH_TO_VENV$/bin/python -u /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pyperformance-1.0.4-py3.8.egg/pyperformance/data-files/benchmarks/bm_2to3/run_benchmark.py --debug-single-value --inherit-environ =,PYPERFORMANCE_RUNID --output /tmp/tmpiq530yv4`

As you can see, the HAHA variable is not inherited by the benchmark-running process. Instead, a '=' symbol is parsed in its place.

Research direction

Start with the pyperformance run entry point and trace handling of --inherit-environ, using the reported bm_2to3/run_benchmark.py invocation as the reproduction path. Run the command from the issue and verify that the benchmark-running process receives HAHA=1 rather than an empty variable name.
