Yes as mentioned I'm running Debian GNU/Linux, not Windows. By "idle is installed in /usr/bin" I mean that it is an executable shell script stored at /usr/bin/idle . Yes, shell prompt is the $ prompt to bash. When I run "python3 -m idlelib", /usr/bin does not appear in sys.path. "python -m idlelib" attempts to run python2 and I don't have python2 idle installed. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on with sys.path in the user process. The explanation about the two processes was helpful. Thanks. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40734> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
