Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Because I was thinking about a specific case where I *could* configure how the subprocesses were invoked (launching a test server for a web application). It took Ned's comment to remind me of the original use case (i.e. coverage statistics for a subprocesses created by an arbitrary application, *not* a custom test harness).
What this would allow is the elimination of a whole class of ad hoc feature requests - any process global configuration setting with a Python API would automatically also receive a command line API (via -C) and an environment API (via PYTHONRUNFIRST). Some existing options (like -Xfaulthandler) may never have been added if -C was available. That's why I changed the issue title (and am now updating the specific suggestion). ---------- title: Enhanced command line features for the runpy module -> Add feature to allow code execution prior to __main__ invocation _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14803> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
