> I still don't understand if the issue involves Py_SetPath() or not. It seems to me that this issue is concerned with the default behavior that looks for the "lib/os.py" landmark via search_for_prefix() in PC/getpathp.c. Starting at the image path, it searches for the landmark up to the root directory. Any authenticated user can create a "C:/Lib" directory. That said, I don't think the normal Python distribution is intended to be a base installation for embedding applications, as opposed to using a private copy of the embedded distribution. So in practice there may be no issue here. ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42902> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
