New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: Environment variable names shouldn't contain the '=' character, because it often is used as a separator between a name and a value. There is an exception -- starting '=' on Windows is used for defining "hidden" environment variables.
Using names containing '=' in environment dict in subprocess is prohibited in issue30730. Proposed PR prohibits names containing '=' in two other cases: in os.putenv() and os.spawn*(). It fixes the part of issue4926. ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 296781 nosy: larry, loewis, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Reject environment variable names containing '=' type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30746> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
