New submission from Antonio Ribeiro <alvesjunior.anto...@gmail.com>:
Hi all, As it is my first time here, I'll try to explay step-by-step why I'm providing this path, and why I think that it is changing something that I believe that is not correct. First of all, I was trying to run one individual test, as the dev guide says: ./python -m test -v test_sys but, instead of run this test from the root directory of the project, I run it from ./Lib/test, so I did: ../../python -m test -v test_sys and it returned an error. The reason is that my sys.executable was not an abspath. When I went to see why it is different, I get this value to sys.executable: sys.executable -> '/home/antonio/Projects/cpython/Lib/test/../../python' I'm not sure if I'm thinking write, but for me don't look nice to have this value as sys.executable, once the real path should be: '/home/antonio/Projects/cpython/python' So I'm providing a paatch that do exactly this. Hope you enjoy ---------- components: None files: canonical_path.diff keywords: patch messages: 153970 nosy: alvesjnr priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: sys.executable generating canonical path type: behavior Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24604/canonical_path.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14088> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
