Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:
> Py_SetProgramName() should be a relative or absolute path that can be used to > set sys.executable and other values appropriately. Key point here is *can be*, but it doesn't have to be. Given it has fallbacks all the way to "python"/"python3", we can't realistically use it as sys.executable just because it has a value. And right now, it's used to locate the current executable (which is unnecessary on Windows), which is then assumed to be correct for sys.executable. Most embedding cases require *this* assumption to be overridden, not the previous assumption. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34725> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
