New submission from Steve Dower: Windows's _sys.path file (being renamed from sys.path in b1) currently disable the initial "import site; site.main()" call. However, there are legitimate cases where you may want to opt-in to this while still controlling the search paths.
We should support "import site" as a line in this file that indicates that Py_NoSite should *not* be set. We deliberately do not want arbitrary code execution from this file - there's a reason it's '.path' and not '.pth' (While I or someone else is here, we should also handle blank lines and lines starting with '#' specially, so that files can be formatted more nicely.) ---------- assignee: steve.dower components: Windows messages: 276344 nosy: paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Windows _sys.path file should allow import site type: behavior versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28138> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
