> 5) Remove PathFinder if filesystem imports are disabled Extract of importlib._bootstrap_external._install(): def _install(_bootstrap_module): ... sys.meta_path.append(PathFinder) PathFinder is always registered. So you are not only asking for an API to customize sys.path, but also to customize sys.meta_path, right? > A super minor paper cut is the lack of a PyConfig_SetBytesString() variant > for PyWideStringList_Append().

Thanks again for > the new API! You're welcome. PyOxidizer is a good use case for PEP 587 (PyConfig). Sadly, you have to drop support for Python 3.8 and older, or maintain two code paths. I saw many projects which maintains two code paths: one for Python 3 (use Unicode and a few other changes), one for Python 2 (use bytes). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40333> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
