If you use shutil.which() to resolve "python" or "py" against PATH (which doesn't include the application directory), then you'll get the full path to the correct python.exe and will get the expected sys.executable. So it's only one flow that works for both once you add the shutil.which step. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38905> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
