@eryksun, you are right! The output *is* an absolute path as far as
`os.path.isabs` is concerned.
@ned.deily, you are right about my example --- I transcribed it wrong, and it
should be `-c`.
The system in question is not a Mac OS system, but a Linux system with newer
Python versions than what come with the system installed to /opt/local. These
are compiled from source, but without any modifications.
I'm commenting here because I'm seeing the `test_sys` test from the regression
suite fail in a slightly modified version of Python that ships with a product.
In particular, in Lib/test/test_sys.py around line 640, we have this:
@unittest.skipIf(sys.base_prefix != sys.prefix,
'Test is not venv-compatible')
def test_executable(self):
# sys.executable should be absolute
self.assertEqual(os.path.abspath(sys.executable), sys.executable)
Yes, /opt/local/bin/../bin/python3.5 is an absolute path as far as
`os.path.isabs` is concerned, but
`os.path.abspath('/opt/local/bin/../bin/python3.5')` gives
'/opt/local/bin/python3.5', and the test fails. So maybe the documentation is
fine but the test is wrong?
