Well the semantics do change: in Python 3.3 the spawn and forkserver modes did not exist at all. The "spawn" mode existed but only implicitly and only under Windows. So Python 3.4 is introducing a new feature for POSIX systems that will only work in the rare cases where the Python program is launched by a ".py" ending script. Would running the `imp.load_source` trick only if `sys.platform != "win32"` be a viable way to preserve the semantics of Python 3.3 under the windows while not introducing a partially broken feature in Python 3.4? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
