Steve Dower added the comment: You can also modify the "python36._pth" file in the embedded distro to include "import site" if you want all the stuff that comes with that.
The intent of the embeddable distribution is to be a private dependency of a larger application, where you typically won't want the site module. It is also intended to be a developer resource that is extracted by the dev, modified, and then put into another installer - it's not meant to be automatically extracted and used on a target machine. Modifying the ._pth file is therefore "acceptable" given the purpose. I've closed this as an issue. Hopefully I can convince the Nano Server guys to blog again (they did once before at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/pythonengineering/2016/06/20/python-and-django-on-nano-server/) ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28467> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
