STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Current code of execve() has a bug: it uses the length of the environment variable value in *characters* and not in *bytes* to allocate the "p" buffer. I remember that someone wrote a comment somewhere about that... The result is that the environment variable value is truncated by 1 byte.
Example (copy of http://dpaste.com/184803/): ----------- $ cat test.py #!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os env = {"VAR": "ćd"} os.execve("test.sh", [], env) $ cat test.sh #!/bin/bash declare -p VAR $ python2.6 test.py declare -x VAR="ćd" $ python3.1 test.py declare -x VAR="ć" ----------- ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8391> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
