Correction: The pycache is in fact redirected to the new '~' folder. In any case, I tested a bit on Debian Bullseye (Python 3.8.6) and Ubuntu 20.04 (Python 3.8.5) and it seems ~ is not expanded in the environment variable Debian. I'm a little uncertain what is the expected behaviour here, but the sys.pycache_prefix variable returns different results on the two platforms: With environment variable set to ~/.pycache on 3.8.6 (on debian testing), I get the following: Python 3.8.6 (default, Sep 25 2020, 09:36:53) [GCC 10.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.pycache_prefix '~/.pycache' >>> Doing the same on 3.8.5 on ubuntu 20.04 produces: Python 3.8.5 (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40) [GCC 9.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.pycache_prefix '/home/******/.pycache' >>> Still, perhaps the pycache_prefix should expand the ~ on linux? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42032> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
