R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: It turns out that I had a stray abc.py file in my current working directory as the result of some previous tests of module-load-order rules. That by itself wouldn't have triggered the problem, but in addition, I have PYTHONPATH set in my environment because I have the hg whitespace hook installed. Apparently the build process turns a non-empty PYTHONPATH into a null entry in the final computed PYTHONPATH it uses when hg is called, and this results in anything located in the CWD being loaded.
I don't think this rises quite to the level of a security issue, since it applies only at build time, but it certainly seems like a bug. ---------- title: ABCMeta import error during build -> build process adds CWD (null entry) to PYTHONPATH if PYTHONPATH is set in the build environment versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12282> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
