Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Some notes from my investigation of bpo-33185 that seem more appropriate here, rather than on that issue:
* several of the developer-centric utilities in the standard library have a shared need to be friendly to imports from the current working directory. * timeit uses os.curdir, but could be switched to os.getcwd() * pydoc uses a literal '.', but could be switched to os.getcwd() * trace, profile, cProfile, pdb, doctest, and IDLE's pyshell all add the directory containing the file under test Aside from switching pydoc from a literal '.' to os.curdir, I'm not going to change any of those (hence why I'm putting these notes here), but I wanted to capture this info in case does decide to follow through on a "less isolated than isolated mode, but still omits the current directory from sys.path" execution mode. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33053> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
