New submission from Volker Weißmann <volker.weissm...@gmx.de>: https://docs.python.org/2/using/cmdline.html says that PYTHONUSERBASE defines the user base directory. If I understand this correctly, this implies that PYTHONUSERBASE should be a path a directory. I therefore think that python should print a warning if PYTHONUSERBASE is: 1. Not a valid path (e.g. "invalid//path") 2. A path to something else than a directory 3. A non existing path (maybe)
I think that export PYTHONUSERBASE="invalid//path" python should generate a warning, because there is no good reason to do so. ---------- messages: 365851 nosy: Volker Weißmann priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Warn about invalid PYTHONUSERBASE type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40203> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
