Steve Dower added the comment: I've seen some module paths be registered there, but no, it doesn't really get used much (maybe because it's been broken?) os.name is certainly the right test here.
FWIW, I'd rather be prioritising file system over registry for finding packages anyway. It makes it much easier to set up app-local installs of Python (there are also conflicts between e.g. Canopy and CPython virtual environments because of the registry...). I know this is mostly getpath.c's fault and not importlib though. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21319> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
