New submission from Carl Meyer <c...@dirtcircle.com>: If the test suite is run with PYTHONNOUSERSITE=true, the test_s_option test in test_site fails, because it implicitly assumes that site.ENABLE_USER_SITE is True and that site.USER_SITE should unconditionally be in sys.path.
This is a practical problem in the reference implementation for PEP 404, as the tests should pass when run from within a virtual environment, but a system-isolated virtual environment disables user-site (i.e. has the same effect as PYTHONNOUSERSITE). I think the correct fix here is to conditionally skip that test if site.ENABLE_USER_SITE is not True. I also think the module-level conditional check at the top of the file, which, if site.USER_SITE does not exist, creates site.USER_SITE and calls site.addsitedir() on it, should only run if site.ENABLE_USER_SITE is True. ---------- components: Tests messages: 146722 nosy: carljm priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: test_site assumes that site.ENABLE_USER_SITE is True _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13304> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
