New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org>:
When Python path configuration is not properly configured, Python fails with an error looking like: --- Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding Python runtime state: core initialized ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings' Current thread 0x00007ff0065b2740 (most recent call first): <no Python frame> --- This error is very common and hard to debug. It can happen in various cases for various reasons: * Python is embedded in an application * PYTHONPATH and/or PYTHONHOME environment variable is set * pyenv.cfg configuration for virtual environment * Local .py files which override the standard library A few examples: * bpo-38234: Py_SetPath() regression in Python 3.8 which impacts PyInstaller * https://bugs.python.org/issue35978#msg335363 virtual env * https://bugs.python.org/issue35969#msg335249 "encodings.py" file in the current directory * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55657593/python-3-8-0a3-failed-to-get-the-python-codec-of-the-filesystem-encoding embedded Python * https://askubuntu.com/questions/640010/fatal-python-error-py-initialize-unable-to-get-the-locale-encoding-syntaxe Python 3 installed by Anaconda which uses Python 2.7 stdlib because of PYTHONPATH * https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/issues/2267 Python embedded in "gns3" * https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl/issues/410 venv * https://techglimpse.com/error-executing-python3-5-command-solution/ another random error Attached PR dumps the Python path configuration if importing the Python codec of the filesystem encoding fails. In the Python initialization, it's the first import which is done. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 352869 nosy: inada.naoki, ncoghlan, pablogsal, steve.dower, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Dump the Python path configuration at the first import error versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38236> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
