New submission from Ben Boeckel <bugs.pyt...@me.benboeckel.net>:
On Windows, we are extracting a tarball of a Python installation for CI (to avoid needing to juggle umpteen Python installs on umpteen machines). This requires `PYTHONHOME` to be set to use properly since there is no registry entry for the "installation". However, `Activate.ps1` clears `PYTHONHOME` unconditionally. Is there something else we can do to properly integrate with it or should there be an option to say "no, I need `PYTHONHOME` for the stdlib to work"? I don't know how relevant this is to other platforms at the moment as other mechanisms are sufficient there (Xcode's Python3.framework in the SDK and Linux system packages). ---------- components: Windows messages: 380125 nosy: mathstuf, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Activate.ps1 clears PYTHONHOME type: behavior versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42228> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
