R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: PYTHONHOME is defined as 'prefix:exec-prefix'. Given that definition the library must be resolved relatively by appending 'lib/pythonX.Y'. Given the long standing nature of this interface, I doubt the meaning can be changed.
It might be possible to _extend_ the definition of PYTHONHOME to have additional elements, one of which would be libdir. It seems to me that this would be backward compatible. This possibility, and/or other solutions, would be more appropriately discussed on python-ideas. And then of course someone would have to develop a patch to implement whatever scheme wins consensus (assuming the consensus is that this is a problem worth solving). ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray priority: -> normal versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.2 -Python 2.5, Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6060> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
