Hi all, I'm having troubles running pypy-cli on windows. One of the problem is due to the __file__ attribute of mixed modules; currently it's something like path/to/mixed/module/*.py.
When site.py runs, it tries to compute the abspath of every module loaded; after a bit of indirections, abspath call the posix__getfullpath helper written in C#. The most obvious (and probably most correct) way to implement posix__getfullpath is to delegate to System.IO.Path.GetFullPath; here is where problems come, since the CLR implementation of GetFullPath complains if we pass it a name with an asterisk (Mono doesn't). This prevents pypy-cli to start. One possible solution would be to place a check inside the C# helper and not call GetFullPath in case there is an asterisk in the name (or maybe remove the asterisk, call GetFullPath and re-insert the asterisk). I think this solution is ugly and hackish. Another solution is to change the way we assign __file__ to mixed modules; e.g., we could use the name of the directory itself, or __init__.py instead of *.py. Or maybe some weird name like 'i_dont_really_exist.py', etc. What do you think? ciao Anto _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
