New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com>:
The macOS installer updates .bash_profile to add the current python version to the PATH. The problem is that it doesn't check to see if that work has already been done in a previous installation. So, as a person install successive beta releases, release candidates, a final release, and then maintenance releases, the PATH variable grows and grows. As it stands now, a manual edit is required every after every update/upgrade. ---------- assignee: ned.deily components: Build messages: 353471 nosy: ned.deily, rhettinger priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Avoid creating duplicate PATH entries with the macOS installer versions: Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38309> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
