Tomas Hoger <tho...@redhat.com> added the comment: + - If the name of an existing script is passed in ``argv[0]``, its absolute + path is prepended to :data:`sys.path`
Absolute path to the directory where script is located. And I believe there's no absolute path guarantee for platforms without realpath / GetFullPathName. Should the documentation also give some guidance to those that embed python and don't want to start using SetArgvEx right away and break compatibility with older python versions? Something like: If you're embedding python in your application, using SetArgv and don't want modified sys.path, call PyRun_SimpleString("sys.path.pop(0)\n"); after SysArgv to unconditionally drop the first sys.path argument added by SetArgv. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5753> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
