Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) >Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: sys.path issue if sys.prefix contains a colon Initial Comment: If you install python in a directory whose path contains a colon sys.path will be wrong, the installation directory will be split into two strings and both of them are added to sys.path. The following session demonstrates the problem: bump:~/src/python/:colon bob$ ./python.exe -c "import sys; print sys.path" 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback ['', '/usr/local/lib/python25.zip', '/Users/bob/src/python/', 'colon/../ Lib/', '/Users/bob/src/python/', 'colon/../Lib/plat-darwin', '/Users/bob/ src/python/', 'colon/../Lib/plat-mac', '/Users/bob/src/python/', 'colon/../ Lib/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/Users/bob/src/python/', 'colon/../ Lib/lib-tk', '/Users/bob/src/python/', 'colon/Modules'] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-06-24 12:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 I think this can be fixed. sys.prefix should be treated as unspittable when constructing sys.path, i.e. sys.prefix should be inserted only after the colon-splitting has been done. Not sure what the best way to implement that would be, though, so unassigning. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-06-22 21:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 I don't know if something can be done here. A possibility would be, if one path segment doesn't exist, add the colon and the next segment and try again. Martin, do you have an opinion? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1507224&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
