New submission from Thierry Seunevel: Executing a script from the command prompt works if Python.exe called explicitly, doesn't work if script name only. Example : python.exe script.py is ok script.py gives the following : Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\soft\python\lib\site.py", line 548, in <module> main() File "D:\soft\python\lib\site.py", line 530, in main known_paths = addusersitepackages(known_paths) File "D:\soft\python\lib\site.py", line 266, in addusersitepackages user_site = getusersitepackages() File "D:\soft\python\lib\site.py", line 241, in getusersitepackages user_base = getuserbase() # this will also set USER_BASE File "D:\soft\python\lib\site.py", line 231, in getuserbase USER_BASE = get_config_var('userbase') File "D:\soft\python\lib\sysconfig.py", line 516, in get_config_var return get_config_vars().get(name) File "D:\soft\python\lib\sysconfig.py", line 449, in get_config_vars import re File "D:\soft\python\lib\re.py", line 105, in <module> import sre_compile File "D:\soft\python\lib\sre_compile.py", line 14, in <module> import sre_parse File "D:\soft\python\lib\sre_parse.py", line 17, in <module> from sre_constants import * File "D:\soft\python\lib\sre_constants.py", line 18, in <module> from _sre import MAXREPEAT ImportError: cannot import name MAXREPEAT Association of py extension to the python.exe is ok, Path contains the path for python directory (and also to \lib) and is the first dir in path. Why is there a difference between the 2 invocations as they are calling the same exe?
