Nick Coghlan added the comment: Note that Steve Dower made some significant changes to sys.path initialisation on Windows in Python 3.6 that could potentially be generalised to other platforms: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#finding-modules
(There's nothing inherently Windows specific about them, they're mainly useful for the case of embedding CPython inside a larger application) One of those was to allow pythonXY.zip to be used as a sentinel indicating the location of PYTHONHOME. ---------- nosy: +steve.dower _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1116520> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
