New submission from Mark Hammond: The launcher was recently updated to look in PCBuild/win32 to support the win32 binaries being built in this directory instead of the top-level PCBuild directory. However, when this new launcher tries to find a binary for, say, Python 2.7, it doesn't find an executable because it's directly in PCBuild, not one of the win32 or amd64 sub-directories.
Note this only impacts Python when it is built in the directory - it doesn't impact installed versions. The fix I came up with is to continue looking in PCBuild if it isn't found in one of those dirs. Vinay, what do you think? ---------- components: Windows files: launcher.patch keywords: patch messages: 257878 nosy: mhammond, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, vinay.sajip, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Launcher fails to find in-place built binaries from earlier Python versions type: behavior versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41560/launcher.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26070> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
