New submission from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com>:
Using cyqwin 3.3.4-2, and python3: Python 3.9.10 (main, Jan 20 2022, 21:37:52) [GCC 11.2.0] on cygwin Trying this bash command line: > python3 C:/path/to/script.py results in this error: "python3: can't open file '/cygdrive/c/path/to/curdir/C:/path/to/script.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory" OTOH, calling it like > python3 /cygdrive/c/path/to/script.py gives the expected output: "usage: script.py [-h] ..." It seems that python3 doesn't recognize "C:/path/to/script.py" to be a proper full path under cygwin, while most other cygwin apps handle those fine. E.g., > nano C:/path/to/script.py opens the script for editing without problems. The mentioned path syntax is useful and supported under cygwin, so it would be nice if python3 could support it, too. Especially useful it is in mixed development environment, mixing Windows native tools and cygwin ones; using such path style allows to use same paths for both kinds of tools, simplifying scripts. ---------- components: Windows messages: 413247 nosy: mikekaganski, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Windows-style path is not recognized under cygwin type: behavior versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46751> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
