Fortunately reduce() is static within getpath.c, so it should only be necessary to check the handful of callers in there. I've done this, and am reasonably sure it doesn't break anything. In addition, I've given this patch quite a bit of empirical testing, at least under linux/glibc. This has been a persistent bug in Python since 2004 or earlier, and I've needed the attached fix on our Python builds on all our production servers since then, rebasing for every release from 2.4 to the new 2.7. (Our machines don't have legacy /usr dirs so Python is installed to /bin and /lib.) The exact patch I'm using right now against 2.7 is attached, but it's essentially identical to the one I submitted originally against Python 2.4, and later against Python 2.5. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17945/paths.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1653457> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
