Thomas Passin <p...@tompassin.net> added the comment:
Well, yes, I realize that I could add the directories. But random users of find_executible may not realize that. Actually, it's probably a bit more complex than just adding the top-level directories %ProgramFiles% and %ProgramFiles(x86)%, because find_executable probably doesn't do a recursive search. In that the best tactic would be to look in those top-level directories for a directory with the same name as the executable. If one is found, then look in it for the actual file. For example, on my computer, inkscape.exe is at %ProgramFiles%\Inkscape inkscape.exe, and that pattern is very common. This tactic would find many of the otherwise unfound executables, and still execute quickly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39260> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
