Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Platform-specific >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: -S hides standard dynamic modules Initial Comment: This only applies when os.name == 'posix'. Running an un-installed build of Python with the -S option causes the directory containing the standard dynamically-built modules not to be placed on sys.path. The build/lib.<platform>-<version>/ directory containing those modules is added to sys.path by site.py rather than getpath.c, even though those modules are needed. This includes many modules on most Unix systems: array dbm math regex termios audioop dl md5 resource _testcapi binascii errno mmap rgbimg time bsddb fcntl mpz rotor timing cmath fpectl nis select _tkinter _codecs gdbm operator sha unicodedata cPickle grp parser _socket _weakref crypt _hotshot pcre _ssl xreadlines cStringIO _hotshot pwd strop zlib _curses_panel linuxaudiodev pyexpat struct _curses _locale readline syslog Perhaps the best way to fix this is to add the equivalent code to getpath.c. The relevant stanza in site.py is headed by a comment saying "especially for Guido". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Brett Cannon (bcannon) Date: 2007-03-20 17:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=357491 Originator: NO We have lived this long without changing this that I don't think this needs fixing. Requiring the use of site.py when running from a build from a repository checkout seems totally reasonable to me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=586680&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
