STINNER Victor added the comment: Technically, /home/serhiy/py/cpython/Lib/../python is absolute and is a valid path. I'm not sure that it's possible to normalize sys.executable early in the Python initialization.
If we modify the site module to normalize sys.executable, it would mean that sys.executable wouldn't be normalized when using the python3 -S command line option. I dislike having subtle differences between site and no site. I suggest to normalize sys.executable in the unit test. ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31030> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
