STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
The "py_version" variable of sysconfig is discussed since 2015 but... it's unused. It is supposed to build paths. Does it really make sense to build a path which contains "+"? It can confuse some application which may associate a special meaning to "+". What about simply removing this variable? Does anyone know if it's used in the wild? To me it sounds surprising to have a different path for alpha, beta and release candidate releases. Usually, Python paths only contain MAJOR.MINOR versions, no alpha, beta or rc marker. Nor "+" marker. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue24916> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
