Mattie added the comment: This is also proving to be a problem in various places for applications embedding Python 2.5 on Linux. For example, my EventScripts plugin embeds Python into Counter-Strike: Source game servers. It's not uncommon at all for these servers to use a colon in their path names, as rental companies will often assign the directories as myuser/IPADDRESS:PORT/cstrike. For embedding Python we have some tricks that allow us to bypass this sometimes, but it is rather inconvenient.
In addition to sys.path, I haven't looked into it deeply, but I believe the codecs search path also seems to get confused when the local directory has a colon somewhere in it. Please consider revitalizing this bug, if possible. Thanks for considering it. ---------- nosy: +Mattie _____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1507224> _____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
