Package: python2.4
Version: 2.4.5-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I was trying to locate where a particular Python package was on disk --
the quickest way I could think of was doing:
strace -eopen python -c 'import foo'
When I did that, I noticed a number of directories mentioned that will
never exist on Debian (or, even Linux) being stat'd.
eve:[~]% strace -eopen python -c 'import foo' 2>&1 | head -15
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libutil.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libm.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/proc/meminfo", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/lib/python24.zip/site.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/python24.zip/sitemodule.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/python24.zip/site.py", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/python24.zip/site.pyc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/python2.4/site.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/python2.4/sitemodule.so", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/python2.4/site.py", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
open("/usr/lib/python2.4/site.pyc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
Obviously /usr/lib/python24.zip is not required. Removing this directory
may make Python startup faster.
Thanks,
Anand
