> AFAIK, tilde expansion is entirely up to your shell rather than Python Yes, I am uncertain what exactly is going on here. Whatever ends up in the sys.pycache_prefix variable is different with the same environment variable setting on the two systems. It may simply be an OS quirk. I am running on Debian testing after all. It is clear from the CPython source that Python does nothing with the tilde. It eventually calls os.makedirs() in the compile() function, which I guess is when my tilde folder was made. It would perhaps be useful if the os.path.expanduser call was added in the cache_from_source() function in importlib?
