Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: The quick fix is to convert "p" to a wchar_t (using mbstowcs), see patch-mbstowcs.txt.
However, I don't think this is the right fix. AFAIK this environment variable is only used by .app bundles created by bundlebuilder.py which is no longer part of the standard library. IDLE.app uses the same mechanism, but that's not needed there and can be removed without problems. The file patch-remove-PYTHONEXECUTABLE.txt removed the environment variable, and results in a working IDLE.app on my machine (IDLE launches with a working shell window and I can open python files). I'd prefer to apply patch-remove-PYTHONEXECUTABLE.txt on the trunk, the more limited fix can be applied on the 3.0.x branch (although I have no idea if that branch even works correctly on OSX) Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12929/patch-mbstowcs.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5143> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
