New submission from Bruce Frederiksen <dangy...@gmail.com>: The python CLI always sets the __file__ variable, whether run as:
$ python foobar.py or $ python -m foobar or $ python >>> import foobar # __file__ set in foobar module The idle program sets the __file__ variable properly when you do the import from the idle shell, but __file__ is not set with the "Run Module" (F5) command from the editor. I've included a patch file to set __file__, but it doesn't del it after the module has run. But maybe this is OK, because the os.chdir is not undone either??? ---------- components: IDLE files: idle.patch keywords: patch messages: 104066 nosy: dangyogi severity: normal status: open title: idle "Run Module" (F5) does not set __file__ variable type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17062/idle.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8515> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
