Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
This issue was opened with 2 related facts of 2017: a) sys.executable is not normalized b) as a result, two tests failed Serhiy then said "I don't know what is wrong: the value of sys.executable or the test." If it was the tests, they seem to have been fixed elsewhere. If it is the non-normalization of sys.executable, my concern for IDLE is that it starts the execution subprocess with subprocess.Popen([sys.executable, ...]). Could this be a reason for mysterious IDLE failures? Eryk, you stated above that on Windows a \\?\ path is possible but will not work for startup, and that you would open an issue for this. Have you? Do any of the non-normalized Linux (or *nix) executable paths fail for startup? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31030> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
